Avid

I suppose that a port will proceed by converting all the data files, and then porting the sources as appropriate. To this end, I am describing the various data file formats here.

Most of the Avvy file formats have filenames of the form "[type][number].AVD". "AVD" is pronounced "avid", and stands for "Avvy data". The types are listed below. A few file formats do not use the .AVD extension, but they are similar enough to be discussed here anyway.

See also Avx, which is another file extension for something else.

• PLACE*.AVD, SCREEN*.AVD, CHUNK*.AVD, ALSO*.AVD: see Rooms
• SPRITE*.AVD: see Sprites
• AVALOT.SEZ and *.RAW: see Sez
