I think that Duppy might provide a little more detail, but since this
is likely to be imagery (given the ENVI reference) then these two
links might help. Or at least they can reduce the universe of
possibilities by determining if ARF is related to FITS...
http://www.file-extensions.org/arf-file-extension-flexible-i mage-transport-system-bitmap
and you can verify that a file is FITS using...
http://fits.gsfc.nasa.gov/fits_verify.html
