CPI to DDS Conversion: FAQ

What are CPI files?

The CPI extension is attached to vector files created using Calamus, a piece of desktop publishing software released in the late 1980s. Calamus was designed for the Atari ST, which was an innovative brand of home computers at the time, and was one of the first vector handling programs to include its own proprietary vector formats, as well as support virtual objects and frames. Since its release, Calamus had several subsequent upgrades and its latest version is Calamus SL2006.
