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
