<P STYLE="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">CiderPress handles a variety of Apple II file and disk image formats. If you associate these files with CiderPress, opening the documents (perhaps by double-clicking on them from Windows Explorer) will launch CiderPress automatically.</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">Some files can be interpreted in more than one way. For example, ".BXY" files are ShrinkIt archives wrapped in a Binary II header. The file selector you choose in the "Open File" dialog determines how the file is opened. When double-clicking on a file, however, you don't have an opportunity to make a choice, so CiderPress tries to guess which way you wanted. The same applies when opening a file with the selector set to "All Files (*.*)".</FONT></P>

|
<P STYLE="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">CiderPress does not create file associations for .RAW because there are many other PC file formats that use the same extension. A similar exclusion is made for .GZ and .ZIP, because the extension only indicates that "gzip" or "zip" was used to compress the file. It doesn't say anything about the contents.
