+This is par, an archiver for Quake pak?.pak files.
+It has been written for all those who don't like to use windoze
+(pakexplr byAshley Bone) for pak file processing.
+
+par knows about listing, extraction and creation of pak archives:
+
+ quake-par -l pak0.pak [files]
+ quake-par -x pak0.pak [files]
+ quake-par -c pak9.pak [files].
+
+In addition, you may specify -v for having par to be more talketive
+and -f to force some actions or/and suppress error messages.
+Since pak archives usually contain hundreds of files, instead of
+specifying them on the command line you may put the names to textfiles
+and use the -t switch. This option may be used instead of
+(not implemented) wildcards:
+
+ quake-par -l pak0.pak | egrep "^models/weapons" > list
+ quake-par -xvt pak0.pak list
