Most common file formats: Hewlett Packard Vector Graphic Plotter File, AutoCAD Drawing, Microsoft Word Document, Microsoft Excel 97 Workbook (xls).

Many of the drawing files can be opened with AutoCAD but were not developed by Autodesk; the format of these files is unknown, though AutoCAD appears to display a relatively high fidelity drawing. Similarly, some files with the .dwg extension are empty, either containing zero bytes or containing all 0's in a hex editor. Some files ending with the .doc file extension are of an unknown format; these are partially readable using text editors, like Notepad, though it does not seem to be their native format.
