EZP Technical details

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Using appropriate tools, the content of an EZP file can be extracted and manipulated manually. Please note that doing so is a very advanced operation, that may cause serious problems, if not done in a correct way. Nevertheless, the EZP file format is described here.

 

An EZP file is in fact a ZIP file which contains a few single files. There are no directories in the EZP file.

 

Below, the asterisk ("*") symbolizes the short project name. Please note that an EZP file must not be renamed.
