I have been trying to guess what program
I need to deal with this problem.  I have
files with the extension .PAK and I don't
seem to have any program to deal with it.

I tried hpack78 and unpack from garbo, but
they didn't like the files I have.

Can anybody tell me what it is, and which
arcer I need to "unpack" these archives?

Thanks in advance...

You can stop guessing now and get the relevant FAQs. :-)

I have a surprise for you.  The program is called PAK, would you
believe.  It also handles .sdn files (also a FAQ, incidentally).

That's for .hpk files.  Tight and very slow.

Can, and probably will. :-)

   All the best, Timo
