Something to begin describing data files since nothing's here yet
= Data File Format =

Located in the <installation folder>\Data\ folder, there are five (or six for the maximum installation) sets of three files.

=== .fs (File Source) ===

This is the main data source for all the files in a given category. The files are either [[FF7/Kernel/Low_level_libraries#LZS_Archives|LZSed]] or left raw (See notes on .fi files) and all concatenated together.

=== .fl (File List) ===

This is a simple flatfile using a DOS-style text encoding (uses both Carriage_Return and Line_Feed to indicate a new line) containing a sequential list of absolute paths and file names of the files stored in the .fs file.

=== .fi (File Index) ===

For each file in the .fs archive, there are 3 Long Words (12 bytes) of data in this file.
