- FILE_ID.DIZ abstract "FILE_ID.DIZ is a plain text file containing a brief contentdescription of the archive in which it is included.It was originally used in archives distributed through bulletin board systems (BBS).Bulletin boards commonly accept uploaded files from their users. The BBS software would prompt the user to supply a description for the uploaded file, but these descriptions were often less than useful. BBS system operators spent many hours going over the upload descriptions correcting and editing the descriptions. The FILE_ID.DIZ inclusion in archives was designed to address this problem.FILE_ID stands for "file identification". DIZ stands for Description In Zipfile.In addition, when written in lowercase and rotated 180 degrees, the 'diz' file extension looks like 'zip', and it even forms a "reverse" recursive acronym.Clark Development and the Association of Shareware Professionals supported the idea of this becoming a standard for file descriptions. Clark rewrote the PCBDescribe program and included it with their PCBoard BBS software. The ASP urged their members to use this description file format in their distributions. Michael Leavitt, an employee of Clark Development, released the file specification and his PCBDescribe program source code to the public domain and urged other BBS software companies to support the DIZ file.Traditionally, a FILE_ID.DIZ should be "up to 10 lines of text, each line being no more than 45 characters long." according to the specification v1.9. The concept of DIZ files was to allow a concise description of uploaded files to be automatically applied - advertisements and "high ASCII" artwork were specifically prohibited.Even after the decline of the dial-up bulletin board system, FILE_ID.DIZ files are still utilized by the warez scene in their releases of pirated software. They are commonly bundled as part of the complete packaging by pirate groups, and indicate the number of disks, and other basic information. Along with the NFO file, it's essential to the release.".
