What are these files?

[trar 325]

I'm organizing my dependencies in line with the fantastic SC4D LEX Legacy - BSC Common Dependencies Pack, and I had these two older files sitting in there that I couldn't figure out the origin/exact function of. I feel like they've been superseded (like BSC MEGA Props - JRJ Vol01 v2 having a bunch of ships too), but I don't know for sure.

EDIT: helpful users have identified these files, but I may use this thread for future questions about other files. I feel like that's better than making a new thread every time I need to ID a file.

I'm pretty sure Mattb325_PostOffices.dat is his Mail Distribution Center, found in SC4D LEX Legacy - Mattb325 Commercial Pack (Dark Nite) - (source).

For BSC Ships.dat I managed to track down an old link, which thanks to @simmering's LEX file index we know was part of BSC CAL Ships. I'm pretty sure this ended up in BSC MEGA Props - CAL vol01.

Thank you for the help!

The BSC Ships.dat has become to BSC Prop Pack - CAL Ships Vol01.dat. Bear in mind there is a separate BSC Prop Pack - CAL Small Boats Vol01.dat too. They are still separate files within the Common Dependencies installer. There's no plan for them to be included in any mega prop packs. 

BSC Prop Pack - CAL Ships Vol01

BSC Prop Pack - CAL Small Boats Vol01

Mattb325_PostOffices.dat was originally called Mattb325_Post_Offices.dat and it was released in two seperate contents:
BSC Mattb325 Newtown PO (LEX index: 509)
BSC Mattb325 St Georges Hall PO (LEX index: 510)

This file (Mattb325_Post_Offices.dat) can be found in multiple location currently, both in the Mattb325 Commercial, Commercial W2W and Industrial compilations.
The two post offices can be found in the Mattb325 Commercial W2W set, while the distribution centre can be found in both the Commercial and the Industrial compilation.

Those are completely seperate sets. The JRJ version came a few years before the CAL versions. CAL's ships were used by CasperVG later in the BSC CAS-CAL Plopable Ships_2406.

Thank you as well; I plan to install all three of those compilations at some point. They sure do make it easier to get plugins than in the old days, that's for sure.
