Ship (encoding)
From Just Solve the File Format Problem
Ship is a Unix-centric binary-to-text encoding utility and format. No authoritative information about it has been located.
It may use the file naming pattern "part0001", "part0002", etc.
Identification
(Based on minimal research.) The first line of an encoded file is "$". The second line starts with either "ship " (first part), or "cont " (other parts).
