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.
