AIN
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
AIN is a 1990s DOS compression/archival format, apparently produced by a shareware program of the same name. Not much information is available on it, beyond what has already been stated (which is to be found on several copying-from-each other "format information" sites[1][2][3][4]). The webpage of a format identification program[5] links its name to the list of software produced by a since-defunct company called "MicroFox"[6]; however, the only compression utility listed there, called "PUT" (the decompressor being called "GET"), writes to files with the extension .put, in an extant copy[7], and is listed separately on the identification software webpage.
