Format
All .bin files in the common Parse6 format begin with a header:
The 8 bytes "CrypticS" An Adler-32 CRC of the parse table data, as a 32-bit integer The PascalString "Parse6" A PascalString "Files1", denoting the start of the file list A 4-byte integer giving the number of bytes in the file list section
Next is the file list section, which contains:
A 4-byte integer giving the number of files in the file list
and then, once for each file:
A PascalString giving the file name A 4-byte time value giving the file's timestamp
After this is a binary table of struct values.
