My last posting got messed up a bit so I'll try again. I wrote some programs, and submitted both binaries and sources to the moderator to help keep track of files, whether they were simple files on disk,or archived. I wanted it because I wanted to know what I had, and what was backed up,even if backed up in an archive with a bunch of other stuff, all listed and organized, so I could see that file XYZ was in directory ABC\suchnsuch or disk 5, and also archived in file JUNK.ARC on disk 33. LSIT (because that's easier to type than "LIST" thanks to the vagaries of the QWERTY keyboard), lists files, when it sees a file with a .ARC extension, it opens it up to see what is archived and lists that along with every thing else. It lists by disk. A 2nd program, GROUP, reads the list output by lsit, and creates a second list with all the files of the same name grouped together. I don't THINK anybody has done this before, but maybe somebody did and I missed it. I hope others find such a thing useful. regards, Carl Weidling
