Quite a while ago, I whipped together a WAD-like file format which allows
reading back from it with stdio-type functions and also can transparently
access files outside the packed file. It's called 'Sausage.' It comes
with a quick-n-dirty sausage packer program.

It's BETA. That means it works for me and a few others who have tried it.
I won't have a lot of time in the coming weeks to give a ton of support
for it, but I try to help as much as I can.

I'm just sick of downloading games in progress and ending up with hundreds
of files, each taking up a minimum of 32k due to my clustersize.

So, use and enjoy! There are no known bugs at this time, but I guarantee
nothing, holmes. Also, if you modify it, especially to add functionality,
please send me the changes so they can be incorporated for all to enjoy.
