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.

XWD (X Window Dump) is a screen capture image format defined as part of the X Window System by the MIT X Consortium, dating to approximately 1987. The xwd command-line utility captures the contents of an X window or the entire screen and saves it as an XWD file — functionally equivalent to a screenshot utility but predating the concept by years. XWD files contain a detailed header specifying the X server's visual type, bit depth, byte order, bitmap unit and padding, the window's dimensions, border width, and color map information, followed by the raw pixel data exactly as represented in the X server's framebuffer. This means XWD files faithfully capture the exact pixel representation used by the display hardware — including server-specific byte ordering, padding, and color organization — making them primarily useful on the system where they were captured or on systems with compatible display configurations. The header also stores the window name string and the full color map entries for indexed-color visuals. XWD supports all X11 visual types: StaticGray, GrayScale, StaticColor, PseudoColor, TrueColor, and DirectColor, at any bit depth supported by the X server. One advantage is exact framebuffer fidelity: XWD captures the window's pixel data in its native format without any color space conversion or compression, making it the definitive record of what the X server was actually displaying. The format's integration with the X11 command-line toolkit provides another practical benefit — xwd can capture specific windows by ID or name, be triggered remotely via SSH, and piped directly to format converters. XWD files are handled by ImageMagick, GIMP, xwud (the viewer companion to xwd), and xv.
