Correction to my PK36 bug report. *Legitimate* hyphens in DOS filenames prevent PKXarc operation when they are placed at the beginning of filenames. For example the file "--first.arc" or "-first.arc" will not be dearced. Instead PKX displays a syntax tutorial. Filenames that begin with hyphens are a very convenient way to make these files appear at the top of directories (when sorted by filenames). I personally use such names a lot. Could Phil Katz release the patch address for PKXarc SwitchCharacter so that it can be replaced by the standard DOS "/" character. Thank you. At any rate, Phil Katz has provided us with another *great* product. Michel
