Answer: XPF files are Uncommon Files primarily associated with XaoS Position File (Jan Hubicka Thomas Marsh Zoltan Kovacs and Others).
Now the .xt files created by the software are the phylogenetic tree itself that is saved in the XML-based Extensible TreeGraph format. All the data contained in that tree such as the annotations and other information is called .xtg files.
