List of RISC OS filetypes
- This is a sub-article to RISC OS.
RISC OS filetypes use metadata to distinguish file formats. Some common file formats from other systems are mapped to filetypes by the MimeMap module.[1] Such mapping was previously handled by DosMap.[1]
The MimeMap module maps RISC OS filetypes to and from MIME content types, dotted filename extensions and Apple's Uniform Type Identifiers.[2][3]
Requests for new filetype allocations for all RISC OS versions are handled centrally by RISC OS Open.[4]
RISC OS filetypes
Filetypes were originally classified by Acorn into distinct ranges:
| Hexadecimal range | Designation | Use | |

| 400 |
9FF |
Commercial software | Allocated[5] |
| A00 |
