Filename Extension DataBase - Offline
=====================================

        Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves,
        or we know where we can find information upon it.

                                  -- Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

FEDB (Filename Extension DataBase) is a collection of filename extension
related information. It contains descriptions, application links and
MIME types with some links into internet. It is available as web-site
and as compiled Windows HTML Help file.

FEDB is Freeware. Enjoy!

Disclaimer
==========

As far as I'm concerned, as the author and mainteiner, the Filex databases
can be freely used in any kind of projects as long as the origin is mentioned
and appropriate credit is given. I started collecting filename extensions
for my own purposes, but so many wonderful people have helped me over the
years that I cannot and will not prevent any reasonable use of the collection.

I believe that information should be free. 

There is no warranty. The information here may or may not be correct and any
use of it for any purpose is entirely at your own risk.

  Please do NOT ask me about filename extensions, suffixes, how to use
  any application, what application can open anything, where to find them
  or basically anything. Everything that I know is in Filex databases !!!
