Wayne… here's my report. First, as you noted, date/time isn't implemented yet. I couldn't get it to work with files greater than 32K, getting an "unexpected EOF". Wildcards also didn't work — specifying a wildcard caused it to use only the first file that matched the wildcard spec. Also as you noted, directory support is poor. When you're extracting, it was my intention that a directory specification really means "move to that directory". In other words, go to a pre-existing directory, and IF it doesn't exist, create it. You're creating a directory every time, which causes it to give up if that directory already exists. Also, I found the method of adding new directories (particularly having to tell it what level to put it at) a little hard to work with. I had some initial trouble with the fact that -Options much precede the actual command character. Over all, looks great! The CRCs and headers are correct throughout (except for the lack of valid date/time), including the byte order of word and longword fields. (I was worried that maybe I hadn't been clear enough about that in the spec). – Bela
