Looking at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Sound_Control
I can't see any reference to a file format. At the bottom, there's a
link "Music notation file formats" which takes you to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Music_notation_file_formats
which contains a link "Open Sound Control" under the heading
Pages in category "Music notation file formats"
and that nicely completes the circle with
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Sound_Control
The list which contains "Open Sound Control" also contains "MIDI file"
which suggests the error is wiki's, not mine.
So would I be right in thinking OSC is only a Protocol and not
a File Format?

I'm not sure what I'm missing seeing in this page by not having
"language pack for 'Adobe-Japan1' mapping" available.

One of the comparisons here is Standard File Format:
MIDI: yes OSC: an implied negative.
I've googled around for a file format, but all I find are applications
and program fragments. OK, an application might be able to store an OSC
protocol stream in a file, but that does not make that a file format.
Cheers,
David.
