The other day, I needed to extract a few files from a Quake 1 pak, and remembered I had an extractor on an old Delphi CD, Tho funny things was does not work in Windows XP Some 200 error, cos of old pascal code. anyway I decided to write my own. after finding the format, I made 3 little projects for dealing with pak files.
anyway there 1 class 3 projects command line. so ya need to use the batch files.
MakePak allows you to build your own pak file from a list, there is an example
QExtract Extract everything from a pak to a folder, including sub folders
.
QList extracts a list of files inside a pak and outputs to a file. if ya need to make a pak agian.
Note this only supports the Quake Pak format. so compressed versions will not work.
anyway hope it may help.

Yer main reason cos, XP has problems with some old DOS programs now. I also had the same problem with DukeNukem 3D, I also made a Group extract for that and Doom, but still working on them, I post them here soon as I finished them.

Ah. Have you ever tried using the compatibility mode option to get things working?

Hi, yes I tried the compatibility mode on many old DOS things I have and I never seemed to ever get it working, I find it as much use as a chocolate teapot. I am sure MS just stuck that on, so they could fill the dialog up a bit. ![]()
