Although the Myst engine is still quite obscure with respect to Riven's one, it is clear that it uses resources stored in several Mohawk archives as well.

The Mohawk packages in Myst ME are:

  • CHANNEL
  • CREDITS
  • DUNNY
  • HELP (Myst ME only)
  • INTRO
  • MECHAN
  • MYST
  • SELEN
  • STONE
  • SYSTEM (does not exist in all versions and only contains the RSFL resource)

These are plain Mohawk files despire their obscure .dni or .dat extensions.

Both Myst and Myst Masterpiece Edition use little-endian byte order in their resource data.
