AVS to CAL Conversion: FAQ
What are AVS files?
The AVS image file format is associated with Stardent's Application Visualisation Software (AVS), a currently obsolete program which was popular during the early 1990s. An AVS file contains a bitmap image created using this software. Stardent was a fairly well-known manufacturer of graphics workstations, but it was unable to compete with other upcoming brands, such as IBM, HP and Silicon graphics, and was dissolved in 1994.
What are CAL files?
A CAL image file represents a monochrome bitmap image that uses the CALS raster image standard for storing graphics data. This standard was created in the 1980s by the US Department of Defence as a compressed interchangeable image format. CAL and CALS are extensions used for similar purposes.
