Anyone know where I might find a tool for uncompressing the .ini files into
a readable format (i.e. plain ASCII)? I wanted to make a list of which piece
of hardware can be bought where and frankly I don't have the patience to
visit each and every base in the sector individually and write down that
info manually.
I'd rather try my luck feeding these data files through a perl script or
something and have that try to extract all the relevant info I'm interested
in...
