HPIView 1.7 - Windows HPI file viewer and extractor

This program provides an Explorer-like interface to the HPI file,
allowing you to poke around and extract or view individual files from it.

Just run HPIView.exe, select File/Open from the menu, and start browsing.
You can also specify an initial file to open on the command line.
Hint: Place a shortcut to HPIView in your WINDOWS\SendTo directory.  Then
right-click on the file, and send it to HPIView.

When you see a file you want to grab, right-click on it, and select File/Extract.

To extract all the files in the HPI file, select File/Extract All, and then
point to a directory to extract to.

To view the file without extracting it, just double-click on it, or select File/View
from the menu.

The program can view text, BMP, PCX, WAV, TNT, GAF, and SCT files.
If it doesn't know how to view the file, it will show a hex dump of it.

If you have any comments or suggestions, let me know!
