All Mikero tools 'behave', install, and operate in an identical manner. You are strongly advised to read the General Readme once.
DePax is a powerful analyser of any pac/paa file.
Under all options, it lists the internal structure of the file:
In addition, it will scan given folder(s) for all paa's or all paa's of a given type.
Thus, you can rapidly search for instance the p:/ca folder for DXT1 *.paa
Output is produced on screen.
A no nonsense auto installer saving you sweat and tears.
Do not run this, or any tool from bis, as administrator.
'Admin' is not what you think it is, it is an alias for 'Microsoft Office Use only'.
Consider yourself warned.

A typelist causes depax to only list specific types of paa.
A typelist is obviously only useful in conjunction with folder or pbo scan.
The list consists of one or more comma separated values.
These values can either be expressed as hexadecimal, or the type name as follows:
0xFF0n or "DXTn" (n==1..7)
0x1555 or "RGB5"
0x4444 or "RGB4"
0x8888 or "RGB8"
0x8080 or "GREY" or "GRAY" // alternate spelling
0x4747 or "INDX"
0x0000 or "DEMO" ofp demo (no number, since there is no 'type'
Filelist
A filelist is useful in your projects where you should be checking quality-of-work before issuing to the public and you don't want a folder scan because some pax are still under development.
Example
DePac -B MyGreatListOfShould-Be-Good-Pax
or, simply point depac to the folder under review.
Specifying a pbo, obviously, looks for given pax in a given pbo.
Examples
DePac thisfile
DePac -btDXT1,DXT2,DXT5 ThisFolder
List (briefly) only files of type DXT which might be in ThisFolder
DePac -tINDX ThisPbo.pbo
List only {{ofp}} pac-pallete types if they're in this pbo.
