Does any one know, and can let me know, the structure of the PK archive
files?
I have two reasons for wanting this information. First, and most
urgent, I have a corrupt file that was archived using PKARC. I feel that
it may be possible to recover some of its contents if I do some
byte-twiddling (using Norton's utilities). However, clearly I need to know
what each byte represents in order to make an intelligent guess at what it
should be.
Secondly, I have a medium term project to display the contents of
PK-arc files in various flexible ways, enabling files to be interactively
deleted, etc. Again, some knowledge of the format of an archive file is
needed. In this latter project, the actual updating of the archive would
be done by PKARC and PKXARC. My program would only list the contents in a
flexible manner.
