PackView notes
CAUTION: 
 - PackView is unfinished and it is unstable.
 - I suggest using NT-based Windows(NT,2000,XP) or/and backing-up your work.

 - Any data extracted from files are copyrighted by they authors!!! Do not steal their work!


COMMENTS: 
 - PackView was written to provide same user interface to different packed files/archives, like:  
      multi-image file formats (ICO (Windows Icon), Simutrans PAKs,...)
      PC game data files
      ...
 - I also planned to make editing posssible, but I have never done it, because of lack of good solution, how to do it.
 - So PackView can only show contents of such files...

PLUGINS: 
 - ico.dll		Windows icon file format (supports WinXP icons with alpha chanel)
 - bmp.dll		Windows bitmap file format (supports WinXP bitmaps with alpha chanel)
 - hworldpak.dll	H-World PAK file - 64*64 version
 - hworld128pak.dll	H-World PAK file - 128*128 version (AFAIK can also open 64*64 version)
 - simupak.dll		Newest OLD Simutrans PAK file - you shouldn't need it anymore
 - simuobjpak.dll	SimuObject files (v0.1.1, v0.1.2)- Shows innerfile tree exactly as it is in file; 
			 - NEW: extracted list of all images. Recognizes IMG and TEXT nodes.
			 - FIX: Fixed memory problems in unloading code

KNOWN ISSUES: 
 - Hangs, when it tries to open corrupted file
 - Hangs, when it tries to open 128*128 H-World PAK with 64*64 plugin (internaly same as above, but file is not corrupted)
 - Images in SimuObject files with special color uses special indexes are not supported 
    - these pixels looks "black"
    - You can use this "feature" to look for not wanted special colored pixels ;)

INSTALATION: 
 - Dowload PackView.exe
 - Make subfolder named "dlls" in folder with PackView.exe
 - Download needed plugins and put them in "dlls" subfolder

UNINSTALATION: 
 - Delete PackView.exe and "dlls" subdirectory
 - If you want, you can manualy remove whole tree in registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Zarevak\PackView MDI

BUG REPORTS & COMMENTS: 
 - I said, it is unfinished!
