GRF Tool

This program can open a grf and extract file(s) from it. It has a Search
option and a handy Preview Pane for viewing text and image files before
extracting them. To extract a single file, double click it or select it and
click Extract. To extract multiple files, hold Ctrl or Shift while you select
the files (Ctrl+A for all), then click Extract.

GRF Builder

This program can open a grf, extract files, create new grfs, and merge grfs.
When opening and loading large grfs, it is slower compared to GRF Tool. In
addition to the file list view, there is also a tree view. There is a Search
option, but it only searches for exact file names.

Creating a GRF

Download and extract GRF Builder.
Make a folder named " data " somewhere (ex: on your Desktop).
Put files you want to add to your GRF into the "data" folder.
Start grfbuilder.exe
Click New and enter a filename (ex: YourRO.grf)
Click Merge dir , browse to the "data" folder, and click OK.
A progress bar will show as files are being added.
Click Close , then exit GRF Builder.

What about G P Fs?

GPF is the same file format as GRF. The different file extension it is only
used to differentiate patches from base archives.
