An Unexpected Surprise

In 1993, the game Rebel Assault (v1.2) from LucasArts was released for MS-DOS on CD. It contained a handful of development content that wasn't intended to be shipped, including Deluxe Paint II Enhanced.

I'll be writing up more on this, but for now, here is the archive. It is kept here for historical preservation.

The \ALIASES Directory

Filename My Best Guess
ALIASES/CDON.BAT Empty
ALIASES/DP_PREFS Preferences file for Deluxe Paint
ALIASES/ENV.BAT Shows which environments are available (see also WATCOM.BAT, MSC7.BAT, and SCUMMENV.BAT; [missing INTEL.BAT, apparently])
ALIASES/FOO Empty
ALIASES/GENERIC.BAT Seems to be a template to base other environments off of
ALIASES/MSC6.BAT Environment setup for Microsoft C 6.0
ALIASES/MSC7.BAT Environment setup for Microsoft C/C++ V7.0
ALIASES/SCUMMENV.BAT Environment setup for SCUMM Projects (includes Monkey 1 Sega (Eng/JP), Fate of Atlantis (Sega/French))
ALIASES/SDK.BAT Environment setup for Microsoft Windows SDK V3.1
ALIASES/SETENV.BAT Calls the current config batch file, or tries to call environ.bat if it exists
ALIASES/WATCOM.BAT Environment setup for Watcom C/386

These seem to be DOS aliases used with a LOAD command. (See SDK.BAT for an example.)

Filename My Best Guess
ALIASES/I4MGENG.NRK Indiana Jones 4 and the Fate of Atlantis (Sega Mega CD, English)
ALIASES/I4MGKAN.NRK Indiana Jones 4 and the Fate of Atlantis (Sega Mega CD, Japanese)
ALIASES/M1MGENG.NRK Monkey Island 1 (Sega Mega CD, English)

Notable Tools

Deluxe Paint II Enhanced

Barebones copies of Electronic Arts' famous pixel art application were present. Two versions, actually. Versions 2.1 and 2.3.

DK.EXE

This, from what I recall, is an in-house LucasArts image 'Swiss Army Knife' tool. Among its powers: it could reduce the number of colors in an image, using dithering, or adapt an image to fit an existing palette.
