What gives with these DEFAULT files?

I constantly find different files in the Modules folder which all begin with DEFAULT, but have different extensions. What is the meaning of these files?

Various Calamus modules will willingly load standard data of the type they support when they are started. This always occurs with the launch of Calamus, providing that the module is set to be loaded in the Calamus setup file (CALAMUS.SET), or if one loads a module explicitly afterward.

Following an agreement with the developers, these modules look for their standard data in exactly the same folder that they were in when they were launched. If the RasterCache generator is thus started in the Modules folder, then it wants to find a file there named CALAMUS.CRI. The Text style module accordingly looks for a CALAMUS.CSL file (Calamus Style list).

Exception: The LIN module, which after all needs a CK4 control line (for CMYK colour pictures), expects a curve named DEFLIN.CK4 in the Modules folder.

If you should find that Calamus refuses to load previously saved (somewhere!) files at program start, check first if the corresponding data with the filename DEFAULT. + extender for the relevant filetypes is located in the Modules folder.
