I don’t suppose anyone has reverse-engineered the old 90ies Apple DocViewer file format? I know someone decoded THINK Reference, but I'm kinda hoping that DocViewer will be better than PDF for extracting structured info from Inside Macintosh.

Sadly there's an MS Word display app called “DocViewer”, so web search is kinda difficult.

.tar, .zip, .gz--you already have seen those extensions at the end of archive files, don't you?

But what do they mean? What is the difference between those formats?
