A CUR file is a cursor image or animation used for the Windows mouse pointer. It may be an arrow (for general use), a spinning hourglass (for waiting periods), or an I-bar (for text editing).
The BM file type, associated with X11 Bitmap, is a monochrome bitmap image format used on the X Window System, which is commonly found on Unix and Unix-like operating systems. It stores black-and-white images in a plain text format, where each pixel is represented as either on (black) or off (white). These files are often used for simple icons and cursors within the X11 graphical user interface. Due to its simplicity and text-based nature, BM files can be easily edited with standard text editors.
