PA File System

Defines
#define	PA_PAFSFile(FileN)   ((void*)(PAFSStart+PA_FSFile[FileN].FilePos))
	Returns a pointer towards the given file number
Functions
u32	PA_FSInit (void)
	Initialises PAFS and returns the number of files found... Stores the file infos in the following form : PA_FSFile[file number].Name is the file name without the extension, .Ext si the file extension (txt, html, etc...), and .Length is the file length. PA_PAFSFile(FileNumber) is a pointer towards a given file
u32	PA_FSRamInit (void)
	Initialises PAFS and returns the number of files found... Stores the file infos in the following form : PA_FSFile[file number].Name is the file name without the extension, .Ext si the file extension (txt, html, etc...), and .Length is the file length. PA_PAFSFile(FileNumber) is a pointer towards a given file. This version stores the files in the ram, which makes it work in emulators and on WMB, but is limited to a few megs...
s32	PA_FSGetFolder (char *name)
	Search in PAFS for a given folder. Returns the number of the folder in the PA File System, or -1 if no folder was found
s32	PA_FSGetFile (s16 start, char *name, char *extension)
	Search in PAFS for a given file. Returns the number of the file in the PA File System, or -1 if no file was found
s16	PA_FSSearchExt (s16 *array, char *extension)
	Puts the number of all the PAFS files with a given extension in the array, and returns the number of files found
void	PA_Malloc (void **pointer, u32 size)
	Safe malloc, checks and frees the memory if necessary first
void	PA_FSBgLoad (u8 screen, u8 bg_number, u32 filenumber)
	Easiest way to load a background converted with PAGfx... from PAFS !
void	PA_FSBgNameLoad (u8 screen, u8 bg_number, char *bg_name)
