Stardent AVS X bitmap image

An mbfavs file extension is associated with the Stardent AVS X bitmap image format.

Further details:

The mbfavs file extension is related to a very old program called Application Visualisation Software (AVS) that was sold by Stardent in early 90s.

The mbfavs file is bitmap image crated in AVS.

The AVS image format is pretty straightforward. It consists of an 8 byte header followed by a,r,g,b per pixel, ordered top to bottom, left to right. (a == alpha, r == red, g = reen, b == blue) Each colour/alpha component is 1 unsigned byte. The header simply consists of the width and height of the image, each as 4 byte unsigned integers.

Note the format assumes a byte ordering as per SGI/Macintosh/Motorola processors, if reading an AVS image from a machine with the opposite byte ordering then the appropriate byte swapping is required.
