.DIZ

📌 .DIZ is a standardized text object that is suitable for describing apps or files, stored within a ZIP-archive. Generally all of the actual data resources have an identical entitlement - “file_id.diz”, considering that file_id is a shortened form of a “file identification” term, and “diz” is an abbreviation of “Description in Zip File”. In late 70’s-early 80’s .DIZ-related objects executed a supporting function for software, shared and distributed across open BBS-networking nodes. Therefore, the data stored within “file_id.diz” resources implied worthy and assisting description for each ZIP-archived package, opened and uploaded to the BBS-node, to the system administrators.
