NuFX archive within a Binary II envelope

A bxy file extension is related to the NuFX archive within a Binary II envelope format.

Further details:

BXY is the format currently required for new uploads to the Apple II libraries of GEnie and Compuserve. These files can be created and unpacked with ShrinkIt.

Although this "envelope within an envelope" format may seem redundant, it has several advantages. Ideally, the Binary II envelope will be entirely "transparent" to end users - it will be automatically added by telecommunications software during uploading, and automatically removed during downloading

As more telecommunications programs come to support automatic Binary II packing and unpacking, this ideal will be increasingly realized. Thus, if your telecommunications software supports automatic Binary II unpacking during downloading, you can turn this option on when downloading a .BXY file. Doing this will give you a downloaded file which is a "bare" NuFX archive.

Thanks to the Binary II envelope, this file will automatically be given the correct name and filetype.

What is the meaning of a file extension?

File extensions are characters that appear after the dot in a computer file's name. For example, the file "unknown-file.bxy" has the file extension "bxy". This is used to identify which program should open the file or what file type it is.
File extensions help you organize and manage files. They provide a quick and easy way to identify and associate the file type with the appropriate software.
