SoundForge uses proprietary *.imp files.

Generally when a DAW program uses "proprietary" files, they're not for
audio, but rather for project management and organization (where
punch-ins and edits go) or they're what draw the waveform graphics.
Audacity is a sort of exception - while it saves audio as AIFF files,
they're very short, just a few seconds each, and there are a whole bunch
of them in even a three minute song. There's also a file that ties them
all together. If you want a WAV file of the full song/project, you need
to export it, which uses the "info" file to glue together all of the
little AIFF files and put the proper headers in place.
