The file consists of Chunks, each beginning with a ChunkID (taking the form of a FourCC.) It’s similar to a RIFF container, like what WAV uses, except that RIFX containers can either be little or big endian. If you’ve looked at a lot of archive formats before this is likely par for the course for you. This format has a long history, beginning as the default multimedia format of Windows 3.1.
