How do I get datafile.txt out of datafile.big?

Someone asked me to create a datafile for them that contains only the no batter walkup and no foul ball replay changes. I extracted the datafile.txt file from the datafile.big file using Snepp's instructions from last year.

For some reason, when I try to use this default datafile.txt file in the game, the bar on the loading screen gets about a quarter of the way through and then locks up the game.

Can one of the datafile gurus tell me how to get the default datafile.txt so that I have a starting point?

You can't use gfxpak to extract it, use eazip instead.

Snepp's instructions were to use eagraph to extract the datafile.txt file from datafile.big. That's what I did and (and told it to uncompress the file). I then used eazip to recompress the file when I was done editing it. I didn't use gfxpak at all.

Are you saying that I should use eazip to pull datafile.txt from datafile.big in the first place (i.e. not use eagraph)?
