That's unfortunate, as not being able to add stuff in this area is one of
the few shortcomings of this program. For one thing, there's a number of
options in there that I've *never* encountered, and for another, there's
archivers I'd like to be able to use that aren't in there -- for example
looking at *.lbr files from under cp/m , or *.tar.z or *.gz files from
unix environments, and so forth.
It's *so* nifty to be able to look "inside" an archive by just whacking the
enter key like I usually do, including some stuff that's labeled as a *.exe!
Can you elaborate just a bit as to how you managed to do that, even if you
don't have the exact details?
