BAM Workshop

Introduction

This tool edits individual BAM files. This update has been hiding behind the scenes since sometime in 2011, and it should have been uploaded a long time ago. Thanks to Erephine for the majority of the update! (Note that it still only works with BAM v1 files.)

Installation

Extract the contents of the archive to a parent folder of your choice. Upon successful extraction, there should be a \BAMWorkshop subfolder and a BAMWorkshop.exe file in that folder. To launch the tool, simply double-click BAMWorkshop.exe.

You can extract files from the archive using 7-Zip, ZipGenius or another file-compression utility that handles archives.
