Let's try one more time.

There is a site that lists 100's if not 1000's of file extensions and their definitions. The site is:
http://www-f.rrz.uni-koeln.de/themen/Graphik/ImageProcessing/fileext.html

At this site, the definition of pak is a compressed file made from pak251.exe. Doing a search on pak251.exe resulted in a download site, which is:
http://www.searchlight.com/$webfile.files.COMPRESS.B.25

The doc file that comes with the above program gives instructions for uncompressing files with pak extensions.
