List - File Type

This field displays the ProDOS file type.  Types that don't have three-letter abbreviations assigned are shown in hexadecimal notation.  Archived disk images are listed simply as "Disk".

Forked files are noted with a plus sign ('+') following the file type.  Folders appear with a trailing slash ('/'), and will usually appear as "DIR/".  However, it is possible (but not recommended!) for a folder to have a different file type.

Macintosh files stored in a ShrinkIt archive may be displayed with a 32-bit Mac file type instead.

File types from non-ProDOS disks are converted to the most appropriate type.  The following conversions are used:

DOS 'T' TXT  

DOS 'I' INT  

DOS 'A' BAS  

DOS 'B' BIN  

DOS 'S' $F2  

DOS 'R' REL  

DOS 'A' #2 $F3  

DOS 'B' #2 $F4  

Pascal Untyped NON  

Pascal Xdsk (bad blocks) BAD  

Pascal Code PCD  

Pascal Text PTX  

Pascal Info $F3  

Pascal Data PDA  

Pascal Graf $F4  

Pascal Foto FOT  

Pascal SecurDir $F5  

Files given "$Fn" types have formats that are not well defined.
