- Description
- The dat file type is a proprietary format used by Barudan embroidery machines. It is a vector-based format used to store embroidery designs, including stitch patterns, color sequences, and other design elements. The file can be converted to other formats, such as DST, EXP, JEF, and PES, for use in other embroidery software programs and machines.
- An ICO file is an image format used to store icons for Windows programs, files, and folders. It contains two bitmaps: 1) the AND bitmap - the image mask (which determines what part of the icon is transparent) and 2) the XOR bitmap - contains the icon which is mapped onto the image mask. ICO files can be modified to create custom icons.
