Hi Andrew,

 ac> You could then have a FILES.BBS in the format:

 ac> "Hello world.zip" This is the description for the Hello
world archive.
 ac> hello.txt         Hello world.
 ac> "anotherfile.txt" Another file.

 ac> This functionality could extend to other places, eg. 
 ac> selecting multiple files to download:

Good idea, however one problem is that so many utilities use FILES.BBS some
form of backwards compatibility would be almost a necessity, but not too
easy to implement as a single file format.

A "better" way might be to introduce an optional "Long
Files.BBS" that can be used as a target for migration over time.

Cheers...............pk.
