I not publish the package on English Internet, because I can not make normal English translation of help files (the package has multi-language support). I have made the variant of the poor English translation and now I need correction it on normal English. If you will be interested by this idea (correct the English translation), write to my e-mail.
You will open this package and full description of game's file formats for the English MoO2's fans.
