FILE ID.DIZ

A file id.diz is a small text file that contains information about a computer program or application. Think of it as a tiny piece of paper with some important notes about the thing you're looking at. It's called id.diz because "id" stands for identification and "diz" is short for "description in zip" (which is how it was originally used).

So, let's say you have a cool new game you want to share with your friends. You might include an id.diz file along with the game files to give them some information about the game. The id.diz file would typically include things like the name of the game, the developer's name, a brief description of the game, and any requirements (like the minimum system requirements for the game to run).

Now, why is this helpful? Well, think about trying to sort through hundreds of different files on your computer without any context or information about what they are. It would be pretty confusing and frustrating, right? But if you have id.diz files for each program or application, it's like having little cheat sheets that help you quickly identify and understand what each file is for. It's a simple but useful way to keep things organized and make life easier for yourself and others.
