AKT is a compressed archive utility, and its .AKT file format. It is credited to "TRT/Agyhalál".

Identification

AKT files start with ASCII "AKT".

The next byte (offset 3) is probably a format version number. Values 0x09 (v0.70b5), 0x0a (v0.70b7), and 0x0b (v1.00a3) have been observed. The GetTyp file identification software also recognizes 0x07 and 0x08, used by older versions of AKT.

The byte after that (offset 4) seems to always be 0x09 in v0.70b5+, but GetTyp suggests that its purpose depends on the version of AKT format.
