UPDATE

Hello,
I've updated XwaDatEditor.

I've added support for a new DAT image format: Format25C. The format 25C is like the format 25 but the images are compressed with the LZMA algorithm. To use the format 25C, you need an updated 32bpp hook.
I've added new buttons to convert the format of all the images of a dat file.
