FIR 1.0.3

The FIR application was designed to be an archiver, files compressor, files encryptor, and converter.
FIR converts data files into ONE single BMP/GIF graphics file or FIR archive file, with options to compress and to encrypt the data.
Data files can be of any type, for example, DOC, SCR, EXE, PDF, MPEG, BMP, and HTM, etc.
The bitmap and GIF graphics files FIR generates are 8-bit graphics which look like a stereo picture; they are no difference from any other bitmap and GIF files which you may open them with graphics software to view.
