LIF, a.k.a. Logical Interchange Format, is a series of formats used by
|
|
Hewlett-Packard across their entire range of computers, from calculators to
|
|
modern servers. It also defines a simple non-hierarchical filesystem which is
|
|
bizarrely _still_ supported by HP-UX systems.
|
|
|
|
Floppy-disk wise, they're yet more variations of the standard IBM floppy
|
|
encoding scheme.
