PPT at a glance

PPT

PPT belongs to the older binary PowerPoint lineage that later gave way to package-based PPTX, but it remains part of presentation history and corporate archives.

VDA at a glance

VDA

The Truevision line grew out of EPICenter-era PC graphics boards, and several board names ended up surviving as filename extensions even when the underlying raster structure stayed close to the wider TGA family.
