PakScape is a PAK/PK3 explorer/creator. Since PK3 files are really
ZIP files it can also be used as a ZIP explorer/creator.


Features
--------
* Multiple Document Interface
* Explorer-like UI
* Drag & drop (including to and from Explorer)
* Import/export files and directories


Bugs/Limitations
----------------
* When moving objects (files and directories) all of the original
objects will be deleted unless you cancel the operation in a
'Confirm Replace' dialog. Answering 'No' will only result in that
the destination file is not overwritten- the file to be moved will
still be deleted!
* Files can often only be viewed once.
* PK3 files are always saved using maximum compression.


Technical Information
---------------------
Maximum files in a PAK file: 4096
Maximum path in a PAK file: 55 bytes

Maximum files in a PK3 file: 65535
Maximum path in a PK3 file: 65535 bytes


To Do
-----
* Context menus
* Progress bar for long file operations
* Compression choice for PK3 files
* Help file
* Installer
* Re-write the entire application...
