===Directories===
On the disk there exists directories that are equivalent to the '''logdir''', '''picdir''', '''viewdir''' and '''snddir''' in the DOS-based AGI games. Each directory entry is a '''(sector,offset)''' pair that indicates where on the disk is the beginning of the resource. The format of each entry is:
<pre>
        Byte 0          Byte 1          Byte 2
    7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0  7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0  7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
    . . . . S S S S  S S S S S S S O  O O O O O O O O
</pre>
where S is the sector number O the offset in that sector. Actually the sector number is not the absolute sector but an offset that is added to a base sector for all game resources. This base sector is the beginning of the DOS '''VOL'''-equivalent.
