| Description |
A MOOF file utilizes a chunk-based binary format, ensuring future-proof compatibility with older software which may not recognize newer data chunks. MOOF serves as the Macintosh equivalent of the WOZ disk image format for floppy disks. The name "MOOF" references Dogcow, a character from Macintosh folklore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogcow |
