What are DAC files? How do I create them?
DAC files are what Tile World reads, which links to a level set in the DATA folder. DAC files are stored in the SETS folder. You can just create them in Notepad, with a format like this:

file=1234.dat
usepasswords=n
ruleset=lynx

There is now a tool called DacGen, included with Chip's Controls (http://www.pillowpc2001.net/chips/controls/), all you do is select your DATA and SETS folders, choose if you want usepasswords to be y or n, and hit Generate, and it will automatically generate an MS and Lynx DAC file for every level set in the DATA folder!
