I've talked with the author of ARJ (another compression package like ZIP) about being able to compress a file and tack it onto the end of an existing ARJ file. The problem with using PKZIP and ARJ to add new files to an existing compressed file is that the compressed file can be no larger than free disk space. When you tell the program to add a new file, an entirely new compressed file is created of the same size as the original compressed file, and then the new file is added to that. If everything works ok, the original file is then deleted. The next version of ARJ is suppose to have the option of just compressing the file to be added, and tacking it onto the original compressed file. LAM
