Tired of command-line utilities? Fear not, because now there's also a visual tool for viewing and extracting Nexus' .dat and .dap archives.

Capabilities:
- reads Nexus' .dat and .dap archives
- allows the user to browse through the archive
- extracts individual folders, files or the whole archive to a folder of your choice
- double-clicking on a file temporarily extracts and opens that file immediately (if you have an application associated with that file type)

Requirements:
- .NET Framework 4 Client Profile

How to use:
- extract "DatXtract.exe" anywhere you please and start the tool by double-clicking on it
- open a Nexus .dat or .dap archive by clicking on the "Open archive" button
- browse to subfolders by double-clicking on a folder in the folder list
- to extract a file or folder, select one or more files or folders in the list and click the "Extract selected" button (you'll be asked for a target folder)

Limitations:
- doesn't open nexus_01.dat, nexus_02.dat, etc. ... those are encrypted cutscenes and thus in a different format than the regular archives
- doesn't allow modification or creation of archives

Bug reports:
DatXtract was a quick effort and may contain some errors and bugs. If anything doesn't seem to work right, please report back here and I'll try to address those issues.
