It's a pain in the proverbial doing this, believe me. Well .. doing the 
basic identification is fairly easy; doing anything else can be a bit more 
tricky.
Which reminds me - anyone have any archivers to add to this lot?
  names   : array[1..maxarc] of string[15] =
              ('LHA', 'PKZip', 'ARJ', 'Rar', 'RSFX', 'Hap', 'ZOO 2.10',
               'ARJSFX', 'LHASFX 2.5?', 'PKSFX', 'PKSFXj', 'SQZ', 'LZS',
               'HA', 'Limit', 'Hyper', 'ARC/PAK', 'ACE');
Just telling me the name isn't too useful, I need structure docs as well...
:)
