Typical File Format
The BSAVED format is a device-dependent raster image format; the file header stores information about the display hardware address, and the size of the graphics data. The graphics data follows the header directly and is stored as raw data in the format of the native adapter's addressable memory.
There is no file compression, and therefore these load very quickly and without much programming when displayed in native mode.
No additional information such as (screen resolution, color depth and palette information, bit planes and so on) is stored. Video adapters were simple when this format was in wide use and the other information to load these could usually be inferred by programs that loaded these.

Famous quotes containing the words typical and/or file:
“Consciousness is cerebral celebrity—nothing more and nothing less. Those contents are conscious that persevere, that monopolize resources long enough to achieve certain typical and “symptomatic” effects—on memory, on the control of behavior and so forth.”
—Daniel Clement Dennett (b. 1942)
“Probably nothing in the experience of the rank and file of workers causes more bitterness and envy than the realization which comes sooner or later to many of them that they are “stuck” and can go no further.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
