-
-
-
-
- Minnimum Requirements:
- ----------------------
- DOS 3.2 and up or Windows 95, a 386, an EGA monitor
- or better, and 4MB free RAM.
-
-
-
-
- Using Pakie:
- -------------
-
- Type 'pakie <file>' to load a file and start hacking. You can
- also just type 'pakie' and it will prompt you for a file to load.
- Once you have your .PAK loaded you can scroll through the list of
- entries with the arrow keys and numeric keypad.
-
- The available commands are as follows:
-
- L: loads a new file
- J: jump to a specific entry, so you can get to waht you want faster
- C: cleans the loaded file and saves it as 'cleaned.wad' or 'cleaned.pak'
- R: rename an entry
- D: delete an entry from the currently loaded file
- X: export an entry out of the current file
- I: import a file into the current file
- Q: quit
-
-
- Things to remember:
- When entering filenames, you must include the extension.
- After deleting an entry, it is a good idea to clean the file.
- This isn't a text editor. All changes are saved the instant you
- make them.
- You can create a new empty wad2 or pak by starting Pakie with no arguments,
- and then entering a non-existent filename to load.

- to use them for.

- (so long as it is legal and you don't sell it) and you don't have to
- pay me a dime! All I want is to provide a useful utility for all the
- people out there who would like to edit Quake. I will upload the

- big "Quake files" collections.
