Convert PBO to FOLDER

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert PBO to FOLDER?
Yes - PBO converts to FOLDER.

The real operation users want: UNPACK the PBO back into its original folder of files (configs, scripts, models, textures). PBO Manager (Extract) or Mikero's DePbo do this. It's extraction, not format conversion.
