wadext2 - dump the lumps of a wad to files
DESCRIPTION
wadext2 extracts all the lumps of a wad to separate files. It
does not perform any conversion on the contents of the lumps;
it just dumps them byte for byte. wadext2 does with wad files
what tar -x does with tar archives.
The advantage of this program over wadext(6) is that the
latter can only extract one lump at a time. deutex(6),
although it is more sophisticated than wadext2, is less
suitable for certain tasks. Because it doesn't try to
understand how the wad is structured, wadext2 works well with
any wad. It does not need the wad to contain a PNAMES and a
PLAYPAL. It doesn't reorder the directory or lose duplicate
lumps.
PREREQUISITES
A C compiler supporting 89/90 ISO C plus <unistd.h> and
getopt().
Should work on most reasonably POSIX-ish platforms. On MS-DOS
and Windows, install DJGPP or Cygwin (it's free) and compile.
