This is an mpq archiver that uses SFmpq. It has an interface somewhat similar to common archive editing tools. It currently has many features and has been considered one of the best mpq archivers around.

A version compiled with Visual Basic 6 instead of 4 is also available. It may be faster or it may be about the same. Most users should already have the VB6 runtime library, but it is provided here for those who don't (extract it to the same folder as WinMPQ if you need it). The Runtime Files Pack 3 installer may need the files from the Visual Basic 4 runtime files installer to function correctly.

Current version and previous versions available here
If something in the new version doesn't work for you, or if it is slower with opening an archive, you may use the older version that used Mpq Control. Generally the current version is better, however.
