Benzin

Benzin is an application that takes a .brlyt file or a .brlan file and turns it into a .XMLYT or .XMLAN file that can then be edited using an editing program. The xml files are not easy to edit, as they are written in an xml code format. Once the .XML* has been edited, Benzin can then be used to convert it back to a useable .brlyt and or .brlan file.

A guide to working with Benzin can be found here.
