NAME
expack - manipulate Flex files
SYNOPSIS
expack -a FLEXFILE FILE...
expack -c FLEXFILE FILE...
expack -x FLEXFILE [INDEX]
expack -i MANIFEST
expack -l FLEXFILE
DESCRIPTION
expack is a command-line utility that lets you extract and create Flex files. Flex files
are archives (which means that they act as containers for other files, somewhat like
directories) used by Ultima 7 to store most of its data. Note that the names of the
original files are not stored in the Flex — files are only retrievable by their index.
Modes of operation
-a Add --NOT IMPLEMENTED YET. FUTURE ENHANCEMENT-- This command adds one or more FILEs to
the end of FLEXFILE.
-c Create
This command takes one or more FILEs and bundles them into FLEXFILE, overwriting it
in the process.
-x Extract
Lets you extract the files contained within FLEXFILE. If INDEX is given only the
file at this position will be unpacked, otherwise all files are extracted. The
created files will be named index.u7o.
-i Input
Similar to "Create", this command creates FLEXFILE from a number of input files.
However, "Input" takes the names of the input files from MANIFEST instead of the
command line.
MANIFEST must be a list of file names, one per line. The first name is that of the
Flex file that is to be created, the rest are the input files used in building it.
-l List
This command lists the contents of a FLEXFILE. It gives you the number of files
contained within the Flex file, as well as the length of each file.

expack -a animals.flx bee.wav
Adds bee.wav to the Flex file animals.flx.

expack -c animals.flx duck.wav cat.wav cow.wav dog.wav

expack -x text.flx 17
