FAQ
BFL to SHP Conversion
What are BFL files?
The BFL file format is associated with Big Flexible Line Interpretation, a feature which used to be available on Commodore 64 computers for increasing the number of colors rendered on screen. BFL files represented bitmap images that could be created and edited on the Commodore 64. The BFL format is currently obsolete, so in case you find such an image in your archive we recommend converting it to a more accessible format.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
