|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
\fBwad\fP is a utility for managing pack (*.wad) archives. The format used is
|
||
|
|
compatible with Quake and Quake II. wad archives are a convenient way to store
|
||
|
|
groups of related files. Some engines allow wad archives to be compressed
|
||
|
|
internally.
|
||
|
|
.SH COMMANDS
|
||
|
|
\fBwad\fP accepts the following arguments as a command. Only one command may be
|
||
|
|
used at a time.
