Heya,

Just since the release of Quake tonight I've written a utility

for quake. It extracts resource "lumps" from the PAK file; things like

WAVs and sprites. I haven't yet explored the format of the .spr, .mdl or

those types of files yet, but I plan on it. I'm posting it to a few

newsgroups right now, it's called PACKED.ZIP and it's ~7k. As I said,

it's a VERY early and dirty version, but I'm working on it. If anyone has

any ideas, comments or information, just email me. Thanks.
