Record marked as obsolete and not updated for a long time.
Applause was a graphics application developed by Ashton-Tate, a US software company best known for its popular dBASE database application. Borland acquired Ashton-Tate in September 1991.
The picture is stored in Computer Graphics Metafile (CGM), an open international standard that can represent 2D vector graphics, raster graphics, and text. The .gfm format is obsolete and may not be supported by current graphics applications.
Open the file with Applause, the application associated with this format. If Applause is unavailable, try a current application that supports CGM, but support for .gfm files is not guaranteed.
For this obsolete format, conversion depends on whether a compatible application can open it. If Applause or a CGM-compatible graphics application can open the picture, use its export or Save As option to save it in a format that application supports; otherwise, conversion may not be possible.
