- The ICN file format is associated with RIPTerm Image, which is a specific type of graphic file. It was primarily used in conjunction with RIPTerm, a software application designed for accessing Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) in a graphical manner, popular before the widespread adoption of the internet. ICN files contain images or icons that were used within the RIPTerm interface to enhance the user experience by providing a visually rich environment. These files are a part of the legacy computing era and are not commonly used in modern computing environments.
