That's QPAK.EXE w/ .PAS src, a Quake .PAK add/list/extract tool. It's
tiny, yet it offers more functionality than Quest's C version
(recdir.zip, only extract or list).

Lots of Quake info, e.g. FAQs, cheats, reviews, screenshots.

Heretic and its sequel HeXen both used the Doom engine and were DOS-
based. However, HeXen II was apparently Win95 only despite using the
Quake engine. (AFAICT, Heretic 2 was a later 3rd-person-ish game and
used Quake II engine.) However, some people still update the (now GPL)
source ports and not too long ago added a DOS/DJGPP port!

EDIT: Hmmm, the one on id's FTP is only 12 MB, and yet it seems to use
an older (smaller? buggier?) .PAK file.
EDIT #2: Seems that 12 MB is the earlier weaker demo (see FAQ "8.
Demos") with and older engine (0.42 instead of 1.11), only two
(instead of four) playable classes and one less level.

Anyways, I tested it with the Raven demo data (h2demo.exe is just a
WinZip sfx file, 15 MB though!!) under DOSBox 0.73, and it seems to
run fine (audio sfx but no MIDI music). It also claims to support the
(DOS) CuteMouse wheel mouse API although I personally shun the mouse,
so I didn't test that.
