- xxCNVT - Application File Version Information. This file is merged into OSCNVT, and contains all data files used in each version of the application.
- xxCNVT.HDR - Application Version Information. This file is merged into OSCNVT.HDR.

- xxMNU.MRG - This text file is found only on applications that merge menu entries into base application menu files.
- xx.PTL - Application program template file. This file is merged into OSPTL.
- *.xx - Application data dictionary. These files are kept in the RWdata path, and are merged into the BASIS data dictionary’s upon application install. See the section on The BASIS Data Dictionary for more information.
