What is the common approach when dealing with pak files? I believe I''ve seen a library around that handles them simply, though I can''t remember its name. Thanks.andy

i''m not quite sure, but aren''t pak files just renamed zip files? try opening ''em with winrar (or winzip) and see if that works. could''ve been something else though.

Create your own PAK file. It can be as simple as concatanating data files and having some kind of offsets / filsize table.
