file id.diz

FILE_ID.DIZ is a plain text file containing a brief content description of the archive which it's included in. It was originally used in archives distributed through bulletin board systems. The meaning of FILE_ID is self-explanatory (file identification). DIZ stands for ''Description In Zip''. (ZIP was a common archive type in BBS days and was thus used as a common name for archive formats.) The FILE_ID.DIZ file was invented by Clark Development for use with their PCBoard utility PCBDescribe. Its purpose was to easily allow the software authors to describe their work without uploaders having to manually type in a description every time they uploaded a file to a BBS.
