But have you seen ZOO? I don't have the specs handy to demonstrate, but it is comparable in speed to PK, the author is porting it to *lots* of operating systems, and it has one VERY useful feature over ARC and clones: you can add a comment line for each file in the archive. ZOO is purely public domain, and the source code (in C, of course :-) is going to also be released (and with- out any 'macro' language embedded in it that you have to pay $100 to get an interpretor for). You can get ZOO (and probably PK - idunno, haven't checked lately to see if we have it), from the bbs number in my signature.

Assuming that you are referring to PKARC when you refer to "ARC and clones", you are sorely mistaken. PKARC can add a 32 character comment line to each file in the archive and to the archive itself. When one is building an archive adding the c option will prompt for a comment on each file, and the x option will prompt for the comment on the archive: pkarc ac foo *.* -adds a comment for each file pkarc ax foo *.* -adds a comment for the archive pkarc acx foo *.* -adds a comment for both files and the archive You can also omit the a option to add or change comments to an existing archive. The v (verbose) option will just list the file and its comment (and a few other tidbits) when combined with c and x appropriately. Keith Hatfull
