Convert CUR to VIFF

The CUR file extension, short for Cursor Image, is a format used in Microsoft Windows for cursor icons. Its primary use is to display and manage custom cursor images, enhancing user interaction with graphical user interfaces. CUR files, a variant of ICO files, were introduced in early versions of Windows to enable animated and static cursor designs, elevating visual and functional user experiences. The structure typically contains image data, including multiple resolutions and color depths, which ensures adaptability across various display settings in Windows environments.

The Khoros Visualization Image File Format (VIFF), developed by AccuSoft Corporation, is a bitmap image format used primarily within the Khoros software environment for scientific and engineering applications. It supports various image types, including grayscale, color, and multi-spectral images, making it useful for visualizing complex datasets. Despite its powerful capabilities, VIFF is now considered somewhat obsolete due to the emergence of newer, more versatile image formats. However, it remains an important part of the history of image processing and visualization technologies.
