Anyone here know anything about the .WAD file format in the context of
HP-UX 9.0x, or more specifically in the context of an HP 16505A which
is logic analyzer application running on top of HP-UX 9.0x on an HP
712/60?
I have a set of MS-DOS FAT12 floppy disk images which each contain an
UPDATE.WAD and an INFO.WAD file pair. I believe these must be
compressed file archives. From looking at hex dumps of the files
there are no obvious plain text strings.
I would like to be able to view the archive contents and extract
whatever files they might contain.
Sample hex dumps below. These sample file pairs start with a common
15-byte file header:
