DIV Games Studio is a video game creation application originally developed by Hammer Technologies. It has a number of native data file formats.
It was originally for DOS. Later versions support other platforms.

| ID | Fmt. type | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
map |
single image | |
fpg |
image archive | |
f16 |
image archive | 16 bits/pixel variant of FPG. Possibly a third-party extension. |

Fenix bytecode (?) | Third-party extension. |
[edit] Identification
Most of the formats start with three lowercase ASCII characters, usually reflecting the filename extension. Refer to the table above.
In most cases, at offset 3 are bytes 1a 0d 0a 00, then a one-byte version number that's often 00.
Exception: For DCB format, the bytes at offset 3 start with 0d 0a 1f.
