+ARCTool is a Python script for extracting Yaz0, RARC, and U8 archives. These are used in many Nintendo games, and sometimes have the extension arc, hence the name.
+
+==Info==
+The inspiration for this tool came about when I wrote a RARC extractor and realized that all the files I wanted to extract were U8, but they still had the arc extension.
+
+I have confirmed Yaz0 and U8 support to be 100% working.
+
+If you have any trouble with it, message me on IRC (nick is tpw_rules) or leave a note on the talk page.
+
+===Requirements===
+Python 2.5 or higher (not Python 3.x however).
+Tested with Python 2.5 and 2.6 on Mac OS X 10.5.8. It should work with Windows and Linux with a suitable version of Python installed.
+
+==Usage==
+<tt><nowiki>python ARCTool.py [-q] [-o <output>] <inputfile></nowiki></tt>
+
+Options:
+
+<tt>--version: show program's version number and exit<br>
+-h, --help: show this help message and exit<br>
+-o OF, --output=OF: write archive to FILE<br>
+-q, --quiet: don't print anything (except errors)</tt>
