It may or may not be able to read those files which you said. At least it read the MNG and MBX files of the Hostile Waters game and also extracted them properly. 
It will extract them from the RES file. What I want to do, however, is use the RES directly in game without having to convert the contents to another file format and saving the converted files and then using the converted files.
