The file KERNEL.BIN archive is in [[FF7/BIN-GZIP|BIN-GZIP format]]. It consists of 27 gziped sections concatenated together with a 6 byte header for each. This file is the same both on the PC and PSX versions. This holds all the static data and menu text for the game, with a look up table at the beginning of the section.

The text sections have a header of pointers at the beginning of each section and point to the text block below.
