Yes! Still the most versatile PAK utility, the bug in the wildcard matching
in XPAK has now been tracked down fixed. Also, by popular demand, XPAK will
now match by filenames only as well: eg `player.mdl' with `progs/player.mdl'
(etc.)
XPAK automatically cleans the .PAK file when it updates or removes a lump.
XPAK has overridable safety checks to stop you modifying your PAK0 or PAK1.
The New version is v0.4.1, dated 96/09/31 (to confuse). The version dated
96/09/30 is broken -- check the date in xpak041.txt at the ftp site. (This
may also be dated 96/07/31 -- that *is* correct).
XPAK is available from:
ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/idgames2/utils/bsp_pak_util/
ftp://ftp.stomped.com

Here's the blurb:
----- 8< -----
# XPak v0.4.1; 96/07/31. (c) Tom Wheeley;
XPAK is a Quake PAK file modification/extraction/creation tool. It comprises:
List Lists contents of the .PAK file directory
Extract Extracts specified lumps to the directory tree
Add Adds/Updates a lump to a PAK file
Remove Removes a lump from a PAK file
Rename Rename lump in PAK file
New since version 0.4.0:
. Bugs fixed. (and *full* source is now included!)
. Xpak will now match using just filenames, as well as full pathnames.
XPAK was written by myself to help enable real editor authors to write map,
thing and sprite editors, rather than mess about with the PAK files :)
XPAK is freeware, but don't mess without giving credit TW. 96/09/31
