Data format used by real estate agents for creating, storing, and printing contracts; developed by an Australian software company.

Graphics file used by Fallout 1 & 2, a role-playing video game series set in a post-apocalyptic world; stores one or more image frames referenced for gameplay; includes animal animations, speaking character heads, map objects, dialogue backgrounds, and components for the Pip-Boy interface.

An image frame, which is contained in an FRM file, is an unpaletted 256-color image. Each frame has a corresponding .PAL palette file that provides color for the image or animation. The 3 starting characters in the game are pre-made and each character has a corresponding FRM, .GCD, and .BIO file. These files are all located in the "premade" folder. NOTE: Fallout 1 and 2 were originally developed by Interplay and Black Isle Studios but Bethesda Softworks acquired the rights.

An FRM file contains a form that may have been created by a variety of programs, such as Microsoft Visual Studio or Adobe FrameMaker. It is typically used to define fields within tables and it may also store database data, depending on the format.

A FRM file contains the formatting information or structure data for a table in a MySQL database. It specifies the table stored in the database and defines the fields and structure of the table. FRM files are generated when a MySQL table is created and they bear the same name as the tables for which they store the formatting information.

You will most likely only encounter MySQL FRM files if you are a database architect or developer configuring the MySQL data storage backend of an application. The files are created in the same directory that represents the database to which the tables they are storing formatting information for belong. FRM files are not meant to be manually opened. Instead, they are referenced by MySQL to format each table in a database. FRM files are saved along with an .MYD file, which contains the actual data stored in the database. Both files are necessary for MySQL to recognize the database. If the MySQL database uses MyISAM tables, an .MYI file is also used and required. There are some instances when data in a MySQL database is lost or becomes corrupt. Utilities like Aryson MySQL Database Repair may be used to recover or repair the FRM files that store the lost formatting information. NOTE: FRM is short for "FoRMat."

Frame stack created by Corel Painter, a digital painting application; stores a series of frames, including the width, height, resolution, and color depth of the frames; used to create animations of paintings.

To create a FRM file, select File → New... and choose the "Movie With" option. A Frame Stacks floating palette will appear, which can be used to navigate between the frames and to preview the animation. FRM files can be exported to QuickTime movies (.MOV files) as well as animated .GIF files.

Stores the text information for a Visual Basic form; used to save forms created in a Visual Basic project during the development of a program.
