OK, the quick hack which I fell asleep in the middle of remaking a WarDraft-like CLI tool for would work but I had to take a couple days break from the project. Yeah, best solution in long run is make a War+MPQ combination tool but I figure the war-archiver will be useful, too. The format is incredibly basic like PKZip. It just has some magic bytes, real basic sanity checks (number of files, etc.), and a table of file positions and lengths. The real gotcha is that files below 5 bytes or so get stored directly. I don't think I've seen any files that small besides 1-byte files.

BTW: If you REALLY want to see the old WarDraft documentation on the format, you have to go to help in the program. It's not in a text file but the help file.
