any editing on them.

Features
--------
New File
    Pakker will allow you to create a new PAK file. Simply select the
    File|New option (or press the "New" toolbar button). A new file will be
    automatically created.

Save File
    You can (of course) save the PAK file when you make changes. If you exit
    without saving your changes, you will be prompted to ask if you want to
    save the changes.

Save File As
    You also have the ability to save a PAK file under a different name. A
    minor thing I know, but it saves time having to go to the Windows
    shell, and copy the file yourself.

Undo Changes
    Pakker also allows you to the changes you make to a file since the
    last save. There are unlimited undo levels, though you can restrict the
    number of undos, or turn them off completely, if you are running short of
    memory.

Adding Files
    Pakker allows you to add multiple files and/or directories from different
    directories.You can also recurse sub-directories when adding directories.

Extracting Files
    You can extract multiple files from the Pak file. You can also maintain
    the internal PAK directory tree, for easy editing/adding.

Deleting Files
    You can easily delete multiple files from the Pak file.

Renaming Files
    You can rename files in the PAK. Simply click on the file name until the
    inplace edit appears, then type in the new name. Then hit Enter or change
    the focus for the change to be effected. If you change your mind, you can
    hit ESC (while you're still editing), or use Undo.

Moving Files
    Pakker allows you to move files from one directory to another within the
    Pak file.

Sorting
    You can also sort the directory list by name, type (extension), size, 
    position in Pak file, and directory.

Protecting the ID1 Pak Files
    There is an option to protect the Pak files in the ID1 directory. This is, by
    default enabled each time you run Pakker. You can turn this option OFF -
    thereby allowing you to edit the ID1 Pak files, but when you start the next
    session of Pakker, the protection is turned back on.

There are no help files available, but what do you expect for free.
