I think they might be a container for Macromedia Director files.

I get this error: 

Error: incomplete input file 0: C:\Users\jaker\Downloads\Star Wars Episode I Activity Center\Lucas Learning Folder\Star Wars Early Learning\Data\Lang.dat
       Can't read 64 bytes from offset 3c5a4000.
       Anyway don't worry, it's possible that the BMS script has been written
       to exit in this way if it's reached the end of the archive so check it
       or contact its author or verify that all the files have been extracted.
       Please check the following coverage information to know if it's ok.

  coverage file 0     0%   71         79154670   . offset 3c5a4000

Last script line before the error or that produced the error:
  26  log Name Offset Size

- OFFSET       0x3c5a4000
- SIZE         0xe94a000a
  coverage file 0     0%   71         79154670   . offset 3c5a4000

Added support for it in my extractor: https://github.com/smiRaphi/UniPyX (https://github.com/smiRaphi/UniPyX/commit/37053d1de85f3684c681db55972ec2eed04642bd)

Should work for all DATs (please upload more than one sample next time) and it also reverses the folder names since they're in little endian

An release for your program that I can download would also be nice.

You can download it by the green "Code" button > "Download ZIP", if you mean an EXE, no, just get python, if you don't know how, google, ask chatgpt or whatever.

I do mean by an .exe.
