Your routine is close to what I've been considering doing. The file
tosser I use doesn't support 4DOS's DESCRIPTION like ALLFIX did for me.
What I want to do is something like:
1. Check the archive library directories for any compressed file (zip rar
   lha ect) that doesn't have a description.
2. If it doesn't, check to see if there is a DIZ or SDI file in it. If
   there is, import the DZI or SDI as the DESCRIPTION for 4DOS.
Anyone seen a 4DOS routine already written to such a task that I could
adapt for my use?
