Has anyone either typed in or has available Kelly Smith's (and Kim DeWindt) 
"Archiving" program (.com or .hex or .asm) that was in the August 82 issue of 
LifeLines?  This program is not at all like the recently anounced LU or older 
ARCHIV available at MIT-MC.  LU and ARCHIV group files into a "library", 
usually much smaller than the total of the individual sizes.  ARCHIVE defines 
a new file attribute (Archived) that indicated if a file has been archived or 
backed-up and provides four functions: Set archive attribute, Reset archive 
attribute, Display attributes, and Backup non-archived files.

Yes, I have ARCHIVE.ASM from Kelly Smith and will upload to MC
a.s.a.p. and send a note to Info-Cpm with a pointer to it.  This
appears to be a nice way of backing up files on a hard disk.  Beware,
though, I've had one report of a bug.  Don't use it on anything that
isn't already backed up until this can be confirmed.
