Get filenames in PAK file

I can't seem to figure this out.

How can I get the filenames of the files in a PAK file created with CreatePack() ?

I'm working on a backup feature in a program and now I'm on the restore database part and needs to be able to unpack an unknown number of files.

I haven't used those functions, but couldn't you just add the names to the end of the pack file?

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing just now.
But there should be a way to do this, don't you think? A feature like this should be there somewhere without the need for workarounds.
