A text outline format used by industrial sewing machines. Each line holds nine integers: a flag (0 = line, 1 = arc, -1 = end record), a start point, an end point and, for arcs, a centre point and a rotation direction, with coordinates in hundredths of a millimetre and every record terminated by LF CR.
A browser/thumbnail file written by Janome embroidery software (the file starts with JANOMEBF or JANOMEBB). It shares the .jbf extension with the PaintShop Pro browser cache, and holds no stitches that a converter here reads.

What a conversion keeps
Stitches
Every stitch is kept at its exact position. Nothing is re-digitised.
Colours
Kept when the target stores them. DST stores no colours, only where each colour changes, so your machine asks for the threads.
Trims, jumps and stops
Kept, and written the way the target machine expects them.
Objects and lettering
Design programs keep shapes and text as objects. A machine file only holds stitches, so objects become stitches.
