4. a) Extract files from 'removeNumTest.zip'
      to 'batsCDx\import' and 'batsCDxExtractTest\exported' folders.
   b) Run 'removeNumbers.bat' in both folders, to create folders with 'R'

5. Compare extracted and imported data. If there is duplicate folder with 'R'
   on the end, compare this one instead of without 'R'.

6. Validating results.
   Backgrounds need manual validation.
   If there are only changes in numbers in Opcode '04' then results are valid
