Command used by Windows Explorer; for example, to move up or down a directory or show the Desktop; run via Internet Explorer.

Stores DNA sequence information that can be analyzed using a DNA sequence viewer; similar to a .ABI file, but contains more information and is less prone to errors; may be created by the LF, Li-Cor, Beckman CEQ 2000XL, CEQ 8000, Visible Genetics OpenGene, or other sequencers.

Contains sounds effects and audio data used by SimTown, a small-scale version of SimCity; used to playback sounds within the game.
