I realize its been like a whole year since the last post, but I noticed something with this program.
It works fine with the US version of "WINDOW.BIN". When the files are extracted, the following files are generated:
WINDOW.BIN-0.0
WINDOW.BIN-1.0
WINDOW.BIN-2.1
I wanted to see if I can edit the Japanese version. The Japanese version of "WINDOW.BIN" is 40,898 bytes. I used this version of bin-gzip to extract the files from this archive, and it generated this:
WINDOW.BIN-0.0
WINDOW.BIN-1.0
WINDOW.BIN-2.0
WINDOW.BIN-3.1
I made absolutely no edits to these files, and used bin-gzip to create another "WINDOW.BIN" using the untouched files above. The new "WINDOW.BIN" is 40,878 bytes, smaller than the original.
I have yet to see if this new smaller "WINDOW.BIN" still works, although I doubt it will.
UPDATE: I used CDmage to import this smaller "WINDOW.BIN" with unmodified files back into the game. CDmage padded out the extra space with 0s and...
...it still works. Weird....
