The pak0.pak file that comes with Quake is a PAK file required by all Quake engines. It contains the maps, models, programs, and skins required to play Quake Episode 1, Dimension of the Doomed. It is expected to be in the ID1 subfolder of the Quake root folder. Quake mission packs and Quake-based games often have their own pak0.pak files, which live in a different folder, not the ID1 folder.
The ID1 pak0.pak is distributed with both the shareware and the registered/commercial editions of Quake. In some editions, including the downloadable shareware (quake106.zip) from id Software, it is embedded in another archive, resource.1. This file is LZH-encoded using the lh5 algorithm. If you can't or don't want to run the DOS/Win32 Quake installer program it comes with, then you'll need a compatible extractor program to get pak0.pak out of the resource.1 archive.
