To my mind, the jpsoft 4DOS products are everything that PC/MS-DOS _should_
have been....  ;-))  I'm sure that you will have days of endless enjoyment
(and some hours of frustration) this winter.

I made some changes to Barry's DIZ2DES.BTM file and found it to be
incredibly fast on the test directory than I ran it against.  I need to
make some further adjustments before I post my revisions.

Now, I need to "dust off" my Turbo Pascal compiler and attempt some
revisions to GUS_WCFG.PAS for more archive types and to change some of the
switches to handle the newer versions of the currently supported archive
types.

           Cheers ... Gerald
