File Types
Contents
The following table describes some of the file types that are included in Solar Fire’s folders. An asterisk ("*") is a "wildcard", which means it represents any number of various characters, although the number is limited by standard Windows restrictions, or by Solar Fire file naming conventions (e.g. in *.wh* the asterisk after "wh" usually represents a number that shows how many charts are in the wheel design file).
