| File Description |
Plain text file that describes the program or files within a .ZIP archive; typically named "FILE_ID.DIZ," where FILE_ID stands for "file identification" and DIZ stands for "Description in Zip File."
DIZ files were originally used for distributing files via BBS (bulletin board systems); the information contained in FILE_ID.DIZ files provided system administrators with helpful descriptions of each file that was uploaded to the system. |
