Interesting problem, but something I've never needed or done, sorry. I did find
one program in BFDS named AU202.ZIP (Archive Utility) that may do what you
want. Also in UTILNET I have DLXDR281.ZIP (Deluxe Dir) that states it can
search for files within multiple archive formats (seems best bet).

Probably someone else, but I would try out Deluxe Dir first. :-)
