Unused Developer Text

In the archive file order.bnk, there are two files called build.bat and make.bat. Both these DOS batch files do the same thing - they create the order.bnk file from files found in the current directory. From the content of these files, it can be seen that there are two utilities the game developers used to create these archive files. One that created the .bnk files is called kit, and one that possibly created the corresponding .fat file for each .bnk is called dizfile, although this isn't 100% certain.

This is what build.bat looks like:

del order.bnk order.fat
kit a order.bnk *.*
kit d order.bnk *.bak
dizfile order.bnk order.fat
copy order.bnk order.fat ..\

And make.bat:

del order.bnk
kit a order.bnk *.*
dizfile order.bnk order.fat
copy order.bnk order.fat ..
