Encrypted file originally written in Verilog, a hardware description language (HDL) used to specify electronic system designs; stores the encrypted version of a Verilog source code file, which uses the .V extension; used for protecting intellectual property stored in plain text source code files.

VP files allow developers to deliver electronic systems models in an encrypted form. The files are encrypted with a public key so that they can only be decrypted with the associated private key. Once decrypted, they can be read as normal Verilog files.

File used by applications that use OpenGL technology; specifies display properties for vertexes within a three-dimensional model; saved in a text format and uses low-level syntax called assembly language.

NOTE: VP files are also referred to as "ARB Vertex Programs." ARB stands for the OpenGL Architecture Review Board, a committee that oversees the OpenGL specification.

Uncompressed file archive created in the Volition Package (VP) format; contains a collection of files, such as game graphics and other resources; allows game developers to bundle multiple files together while maintaining an accessible directory structure.

The Volition Package format was created as part of the Descent Manager Tools (DMTOOLS) suite, which is a set of utilities for Descent 1-3 and FreeSpace 1-2. Descent and FreeSpace are computer games where players control ships in outer space.
