PCF,
NCF, and CCF are just the compressed file formats that all of the buttons and codes are stored in. In fact, you can take a CCF,
PCF or
NCF and change the name of it from myremote.CCF to myremote.zip and open it with WinZip. You will see that the zip file contains all of the button bitmaps and one .xml file that contains all of the important stuff. The codes themselves are simply an attribute of a button and only fall into one of two categories (that I know of)....hex codes and the Neo format codes. I believe that all of the Pronto models use Hex codes, except for the Neo which uses a different format. Hex codes will be attributes of buttons in
PCFs and CCFs whereas the Neo format codes will be found on Neo buttons in
NCFs. Pronto2Neo is simply a spreadsheet that takes a hex format code and translates it into the Neo format.
Hex format codes are in strings of 4 digits/characters:
0000 0068 0000 0015 0060 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0030 0018 0018 0018 0030 0018
Neo format codes are in strings of 1 or 2 digits/characters:
0 f 6c 3 61 43 15 40 ac 3f 5f bc f2 b 21 1 1 10 10 10 10 1 1 11 10 1 0 0 1 10 11 7c 3
