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 bw file type is associated with Silicon Graphics RGB, a bitmap image format developed by Silicon Graphics, Inc. (SGI). It is specifically designed for grayscale images, utilizing a single channel to represent varying shades of black and white. The format is known for its use in graphics and visualization applications, especially in environments where Silicon Graphics workstations were prevalent. BW files are capable of storing high-quality images with efficient compression, making them suitable for both professional graphics work and scientific visualization.
