FAQ
BFLI to SHP Conversion
What are BFLI files?
BFLI is a raster image format created on a Commodore 64 computer, and represents an image which is too large to be rendered at full size on screen so it needs to be scrolled vertically. Commodore 64 was one of the first models of home computers and it quickly became a highly popular device. Until this moment, the Commodore 64 is listed as the best-selling personal computer model of all times. A BFLI file was connected with a feature called Big Flexible Line Interpretation, which could increase the number of colors rendered on the Commodore 64 screen.
What are SHP files?
The SHP (Shapefile) format stores vector files compatible with various Geographical Information System (GIS) software. SHP was developed by the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI), an American provider of GIS software and geodatabase management solutions, with the aim of improving interoperability between GIS software produced by ESRI and other developers. An SHP file usually contains vectorial descriptions of geospatial data (e.g. rivers, lakes), including specific attributes.
