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.
