I have a DOS image file being used in a DOS application. We cannot determine the format of the image. It has no extension and when given numerous image extensions (bmp, pcx, tif, jpg, gif.....) no image editors I have used can open the file. Is there any software we can use to determine the format? I have tried numerous, including IrFAN, HiJAAK, etc....

Thanks
Andrew

.. kinda vague - details might help determine a solution, if there is one.

Could very well be a proprietary format, especially if IrfanView can't read it - have you installed IView's plugins??
