  Oh sod it.  Yes, all right.  If Robert drops me a line, I'll see what I
  can do.

  For what it's worth, he doesn't have any worries on the piracy score.
  I've already *done* an OS/2 archiver.  I ported ZOO 2.01 to 16-bit OS/2
  several years ago (for my own purposes).

  Or, in other words, I already have the source to the full skeleton of an
  archive program.  (-:

  I'll need details of how he wants to contact me (surface mail is
  probably best -- and the most secure if he wants to exchange source),
  what he needs doing, and what tools I should expect to need (i.e.  I
  will dust off my old Borland C++ 2.0 compiler if he *really* wants to
  use such a beast of an OS/2 C++ compiler (-:).

  Please note that I am only intermittently able to use my home PC at the
  moment, so there may be a lag of up to a week in any e-mail
  correspondence.  Don't be alarmed by this.  (-:
