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 MGR bitmap file type is associated with the MGR windowing system, which is one of the early graphical user interfaces primarily used on Unix systems. These files contain bitmap images, which are digital images composed of pixels arranged in a grid. MGR bitmap files are used for storing and displaying simple graphics, icons, and interface components within the MGR environment. Despite its historical significance, the MGR windowing system and its bitmap file format are now considered obsolete and are rarely used in modern applications.
