NAME
par - Quake pak archiving utility
SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
Par is an archiving program which processes pak files used by Quake and
QuakeII. A pak archive contains only the file names -- together with
the path below id1 (QuakeI) and baseq2 (Quake2) -- and the file data.
Neither access permissions nor time stamps are stored.

EXAMPLES
Extract map base1.bsp from pak0.pak:

par -l pak0.pak | grep .bsp > list
Extract the files specified in list:
par -xvt pak0.pak list
Create a new archive from these maps:
