I think that the "tar" utility posted to the binaries recently will archive subdirectories, etc. (at least the Unix version does) then you can compress the archive file using arc, compress, etc. The ZOO archiver (available for PC, Unix, and Amiga so far) would be ideal, as it can handle directories, but I have yet to see a full archiver come across the net. There was a BOOZ (zoo file extracter only) utility, however. Hope this helps. Johnie Wardlaw
