The [[Weaver]] was an internal tool used by [[LEGO Island]] developers to automate the process of creating [[Interleaf File|Interleaf files]].

== Function ==
Not much is known about Weaver outside of interviews with developers and [[LEGO_Island_Versions#Korean_Release|recovered Weaver input files]]. It can be inferred that Weaver would take *.SS files, descriptors with C-like syntax of the files to be interleaved and their parameters, and produce SI files.

It doesn't perform any compression, but does collect several files into one while also structuring them in a very particular way.
