The primary task of them is to make removing data files possible by a simple update which replaces archive files. These Containerfiles can be created with mount. To do this, you simply run MOUNT datafiles [...] containerfile. The data file names may contain basic wildcards which Mount can resolve itself. Containerfile is the name of the archive that is going to be created (or overwritten if it already exists) and should end with .CON to be recognized by ASC.
MOUNT and DEMOUNT are the only ASC tools that do not require any datafiles themself and who do not evaluate any search paths defined in the ASC configuration file.
Example:
mount palette.pal progress.* hexfield.raw data.con
