A "BAR I.F.," or Binary Artifact Reference Implementation File, is a special platform-independent
schema file for a particular data format.  All you have to do is load this file into an application that
uses the BAR engine, and presto!  Now you fully support a data format.

No tedious DLLs to install, which can break.  No obscure codecs, which can be hard to obtain and
support.  No registry hacks necessary.  Analysis, understanding, and intended usage of a data
format become fully available, instantly, to you, the user.
