I've figured out how to make a dirblock:

if file exist("objects.pk3")=0
open to write 1,"objects.pk3"
write dirblock 1,"objects"
close file 1
endif

but how do you extract them from the file?

Nevermind, I figured it out:

open to read 1,"objects.pk3"
make directory "objects"
set dir "objects"
read dirblock 1,"objects"
set dir ".."
close file 1

Well, velocity x-treme has a directory, called "objects" that contains too many files to be extracted one-by-one. So I tried to use dirblocks (I now know how they work).
Ive made a nifty installer in DBC that reads them and places them at the install directory
