Here is another list of filetypes which I have collated from your
responses. Thank you to all who replied. This list includes all the
data from Mark Thompson <thompsmr@uhura.aston.ac.uk>'s recent (#2)
list and quite a few more from other people. Mark's !FileTypes
program contains some extra data on some types but no extra types as
far as I know.
The only advantage of this list over Mark's program and list (apart
from the extra types it includes) is that I have attempted to give the
names of types and to indicate which are Acorn registered. I will
collect updates to this list but unless you mail me to say that you
think this list is more useful than Mark's, I will just forward them
to Mark. If you tell me it's useful I'll try to sort out something
sensible with Mark.
Please DO NOT POST updates or comments - MAIL me.
I will post a summary/updated list if requested. Do NOT send me
sprites, uuencode them and mail them to Mark.

To summarise Alan Glover <aglover@acorn.co.uk>'s recent posting:
000-0FF Personal usage (non-distributed)
100-3FF Non-commercial distributed software
400-9FF Commercial Software
A00-AFF Acornsoft and other commercial software
B00-DFF Commercial software
E00-FFF Acorn
The minimum requirement for a valid allocation is that double-clicking
the file loads an application and does something meaningful with it.
We must standardise - use existing file formats (not just within the
Acorn world), and make data interchange as painless as possible.
If your software is going to be distributed, get an allocated filetype
to avoid clashes.

The list has one line for each different use of a filetype.
Each line has the format:
HEX RS NAME DESCRIPTION (ORIGIN)
HEX three hexadecimal digits
R the type is registered with Acorn
S Mark Thompson has a sprite
NAME the short name for the type (File$Type_XXX)
DESCRIPTION well-known applications which understand the type
and what kind of data it contains
