About formats

WPS is the document format of Microsoft Works, an integrated productivity suite first released in 1987 that bundled a word processor, spreadsheet, and database in a single affordable application. The WPS format stores word processing documents in a compact binary structure that encodes text content, character and paragraph formatting, page layout, headers, footers, and embedded images. Microsoft positioned Works as a consumer-grade alternative to the more expensive and feature-rich Microsoft Office, pre-installing it on millions of OEM personal computers throughout the 1990s and 2000s. This widespread bundling made WPS one of the most commonly encountered document formats in the consumer PC market, even though many users were unaware they were not using "full" Microsoft Word. The format supports basic word processing features including fonts, text alignment, indentation, bulleted and numbered lists, tables, and page formatting, but lacks advanced capabilities like tracked changes, macros, and complex styles found in DOC. One advantage was accessibility — Microsoft Works cost a fraction of Office's price and came free with many PCs, providing capable word processing to millions of home users and students who did not need enterprise features. Microsoft discontinued Works in 2009, recommending migration to Word or the free Office Online tools. WPS files remain present in personal document archives from that era and can be opened by LibreOffice and older versions of Microsoft Office.

CUR is the cursor image format for Microsoft Windows, structurally nearly identical to the ICO (icon) format but with the addition of a hotspot coordinate that identifies the precise pixel position where mouse clicks register. Introduced with early Windows versions, CUR files use the same container structure as ICO: a directory header listing one or more image entries, each specifying dimensions and color depth, followed by the pixel data for each variant. Like ICO, a single CUR file can contain multiple images at different sizes and color depths, allowing Windows to select the most appropriate cursor image for the current display resolution and color settings. Image data within CUR files can be stored as BMP pixel arrays (for legacy compatibility) or as embedded PNG images (supported since Windows Vista) for alpha-blended cursors with smooth edges. The hotspot coordinate — the distinguishing feature separating CUR from ICO — is stored as an X,Y pair in the directory entry header, typically pointing to the tip of an arrow or the center of a crosshair. One advantage is multi-resolution packaging: a single CUR file provides appropriate cursor imagery across display densities from standard DPI to high-DPI screens. Native Windows integration is another strength — CUR files are loaded directly by the operating system for mouse cursor display without any third-party software. CUR files are used by application developers and theme creators to customize the pointing experience across Windows environments.
