'''Data Resource Files''' are used in the PC game [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Empires_(video_game) Age of Empires] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Empires_II Age of Empires II] for storing game files such as graphics and sound. It is an archive, so a drs file stores other files which then need to be interpreted in their own unique way.

==Format==
:char[36] copyright
:uint32 version
:char[16] unknown
:uint32 number_of_groups
:uint32 files_offset

:'''struct groups number_of_groups'''

::uint32 table_offset
::uint32 num_table_entries

::'''struct entries num_table_entries'''
:::uint32 id
:::uint32 offset
:::uint32 size

*Files can then be read from the drs file and written to disk using the offset and size of the file given under each entry.
