DEC Six Pixels (.six)

The SIX file extension, short for "six pixels", is a bitmap graphics format developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) for their terminals and printers. Introduced initially to send bitmap graphics to DEC dot matrix printers like the LA50, SIX later facilitated the transfer of soft fonts to terminals such as the VT220. This format encodes images using a series of six-pixel-high patterns, making it efficient for transmitting graphics over 7-bit serial links. Rediscovered around 2010, SIX remains in use with modern terminal emulators for tasks like video playback.

CCITT Group 3 Fax Image (.g3)

The G3 file extension refers to the CCITT Group 3 Fax Image, a standardized format developed by the Consultative Committee for International Telegraphy and Telephony (CCITT), now known as ITU-T. This format was created to efficiently compress black-and-white fax documents for transmission over telephone lines. It employs a method called Modified Huffman Coding for data compression, enabling reduced transmission time and bandwidth usage. G3 was widely adopted in the 1980s and 1990s as the primary standard for fax transmissions, ensuring compatibility across different fax machines and systems.
