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.

HRZ is a simple raster image format associated with slow-scan television (SSTV), a method of transmitting still images over radio frequencies used by amateur radio operators since the late 1950s when Copthorne Macdonald pioneered the technology. HRZ files store images at a fixed resolution of 256x240 pixels in raw RGB format, with each pixel represented as three bytes (red, green, blue) at 8 bits per channel, producing uncompressed files of exactly 184,320 bytes. The format has no header, no metadata, and no compression — the file is simply a sequential dump of raw pixel data in row-major order. This extreme simplicity reflects the format's origins in the amateur radio community, where SSTV images are transmitted as audio tones encoding luminance and chrominance values over narrow-bandwidth HF (shortwave) radio channels. The fixed 256x240 resolution corresponds to common SSTV transmission modes, and HRZ files serve as the digital capture or storage medium for received SSTV transmissions. One advantage is the format's zero-overhead structure: with no parsing, decompression, or metadata processing required, HRZ files can be read by any program capable of reading raw pixel data with known dimensions — a single function call in virtually any programming language. The format's connection to amateur radio SSTV culture is another notable aspect: HRZ files document a unique form of image communication where operators transmit photographs over thousands of miles using nothing but radio waves and audio encoding, a practice that continues today alongside digital modes. HRZ files can be opened by ImageMagick, GIMP, and specialized SSTV software.
