Utility to unPAK a PAK file in DOS/Windows

[rac...@gmail.com]

I need to unPAK a Tandem PAK file in a dos or windows environment? Is
there a tool to do this?

Thanks

There is a limited capability. Follow this link (http://193.65.99.19/
kku/pak/pak3.html) to Kari Kujansuu's site and see information on PAK/
UNPAK. There is a version of UNPAK for Java.

UNPAK in Java
2007-03-21
This is Java program that can extract files from a PAK archive. This
can be used on a workstation (eg. Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac) wherever
Java is supported.

Usage:

java -jar unpak-1.0.jar <pakfile> [ listonly ]
or
java -classpath unpak-1.0.jar kku.pak.Unpak <pakfile> [ listonly ]

If the 'listonly' parameter is left out then Unpak extracts all files
from the archive to the current directory. The file names will be in
Guardian format including the volume and subvolume name (eg.
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.EXTDECS). Existing files will be overwritten! The
listing contains the file name, code and EOF (file size).
This is most useful for edit files which are converted to text files
in native format (lines separated by LF or by CRLF). All other files
are extracted in raw format, ie. as unstructured files. This means
that structured Enscribe or SQL files will contain the original
structured blocks and are probably not very useful in extracted
format.

The Unpak program does not support multi-file archives or encrypted
archives. Self-extracting archives can be extracted as well as
archives created with the '-nocompress' option. The archive can
contain comments (-comment) or commands (-c, -after) but they are not
processed in any way.
