XPAK - Comprehensive .PAK file modification tool v0.2.7

(c) 96/02/28 Tom Wheeley

XPAK has these operating modes:

List Lists contents of the .PAK file directory

Extract Extracts specified lumps to the directory tree

Add Adds a lump to a PAK file

Remove Removes a lump from a PAK file

Create Creates a new PAK file from scratch

And these extra features

. Overridable safety mode to get directory tree in correct place and protect

your ID1.PAK (ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP ANYWAY!)

. Possible to re-order the PAK directory (uses disk space though)

. Possible to update files in the PAK dir (dedicated mode will be added) via

Remove and Add, or Extract and Create.

. can read filenames from response files (includes ID1.PAK filelist)

. Actively being extended and improved

XPAK is freeware, and I may release the source in future. TW. 96/02/28
