Ani files are Windows Animated Cursor files that are used for displaying custom animated mouse cursors in the Windows operating system. They are similar to animated GIFs and can be created with various image editing programs.
The HBM file type is associated with the Commodore 64 (C64), a popular 8-bit home computer from the 1980s. Specifically, HBM files are used to store high-resolution bitmap images for the C64. These files allow for the display of detailed graphics and images on the C64's hardware, leveraging its graphical capabilities. The format is utilized by artists and programmers who create or modify graphics for C64 applications, games, or demos.
