What is an BCC file?

Files with the .BCC extension are associated with Calendar Creator, a popular software application used for creating and managing calendars, events, and schedules.

These files serve as containers for calendar data, including events, appointments, and other relevant information.

.BCC files store the user’s calendar data in a structured format, making it easy to organize and share events.

More Information.

Calendar Creator was first introduced in the early 1990s, and .BCC files were created as a proprietary format for storing calendar data within the software.

The primary purpose was to simplify the process of creating personalized calendars, enabling users to customize designs, add events, and print their calendars for personal or professional use.

Origin Of This File.

The .BCC file format was developed by the creators of Calendar Creator, originally designed to help individuals and organizations create and manage their calendars effectively.

The software aimed to provide an intuitive and user-friendly interface for scheduling and event management.

File Structure Technical Specification.

.BCC files are binary files, which means they contain data in a format that is not easily human-readable.

They follow a specific structure defined by the Calendar Creator software, which includes information such as event names, dates, times, descriptions, and formatting options.

The technical details of the .BCC file format may vary between different versions of Calendar Creator.
