+libmpq is a library which can be easily used in own applications
+to extract, create or manipulate MoPaQ mpq archives.
+
+MPQ, or MoPaQ, is a proprietary archive format created by Mike
+O'Brien, the man hailed as Blizzard's multiplayer engine genius,
+back in 1996 as a general purpose archive for use with Diablo.
+The archive format is used by many Blizzard titles like Diablo,
+Diablo 2, Starcraft, Warcraft 2: BNE, a newer version in Warcraft
+3 and World of Warcraft (WoW).
