ATK
ATTACK.BIN and .DT6 combine to form the (significantly smaller) .ATK lump. Basically, each field was re-worked from an INT to whatever capacity was necessary to encapsulate its full range of values. This is intentionally ad-hoc and sub-optimal, so large lumps may eventually split like .SEZ.
.ATK is headerless, with variable-length records. The number of attacks is defined in .GEN.

| INT? INT? |
Tag to set #1(<0 to un-set) Tag Check #1(<0 to check if OFF) |
| INT? INT? |
Tag To Set #2 Tag Check #2 |
'Note: All "STR" variables in .ATK are null-terminated Strings.
*Additionally: "BIT(7)?" means that the next 7 bits may or may not be present. Red text is usually the limiting factor.
+Also: Data types in red require expansion to include current or WIP features.
Again, complaints roll in: "It's too volatile" is the most common one, and valid. Just rest assured that we are keeping this in mind. Most importantly, consider that the .RPG format itself is preserving, so you can always "re-convert" your game to .XRPG.
