Unpacking a .EIP via .zip

So for fun today I copied a .eip file to my desktop. I then changed the .eip ending to .zip and unpacked it. Within the folder I found the following files:

Raw file
CaptureOne (folder)
manifest.xml
manifest50.xml
manifest70.xml
manifest80.xml
manifest81.xml
manifest82.xml
manifest90.xml

The first two make sense. Whats the deal with the .xml files?

  I'm going to make a wild guess that the 'xml' files contain settings. You can open XML files in any text editor ( though formatting may be an issue). You can search for free editors (like Atom ).
  
  I did some searching on C1 & XML and found an interesting Perl Module from 2009
  ( ). Even if you don't know Perl - the code shown says:
  
  # Notes: The EIP format is a ZIP file containing an image (IIQ or TIFF)
  # and some settings files (COS). COS files are XML based.
  
  Not sure about the prefixes ( manifest 50/70/80/81 ) - May make more sense to you ( ie: the numbers )
  
  Cheers!

  The numbers in the files likely related to version information at points where something changed with regards to the content of the xml file structure. The different versions would need to be documented for the EIP to be usefully portable.
  
  I don;t know for certain but it seems like a good guess as it would seem to coincide with changes that one can see when using sessions.
