Format details

(Unverified information)

NIL files are a lot like the ICL files made by Icon Manager. Most header fields are filled with 0-valued bytes.

Apparent differences:

  • The "NE" header starts at offset 64, instead of 128.
  • NIL files never have the "IM" signature.

NIL files are labeled as being for Windows (byte at offset 118 is 0x02). They are not labeled as being DLL files.
