           3DFC suport many file formats to load bitmaps,

           scenery objects and descriptons, palettes and

           general purpose data.

           The standard file separator is the UNIX separator: /.

           For each type of file 3DFC provide a class to

           manipulate it. Above follow the file types

           suported and the classes can be used to access.
