Xfig at a glance

Xfig

Xfig began in 1985 and accumulated decades of maintenance and export tooling, which made the .fig format a durable bridge between interactive diagram editing on Unix systems and downstream conversion to PostScript, PDF, and other outputs.

CR2 at a glance

CR2

CR2 became the dominant Canon raw family through the long DSLR era, so huge real-world photo archives still depend on stable CR2 decoding and migration paths.
