The Fundamental batch 51 is presently studying the module on RoboHelp and were told by the trainer to gather information regarding specific file extensions. I found the website www.fileinfo.net very informative. It’s a searchable database of thousands of file extensions. Each search entry triggers of:

• Information about the file format
