    If you switched your archivers to Infozip or 7zip you wouldn't have to
    go that route. Synchronet doesn't really *require* anything when it
    comes to archivers. You just have to use archivers that are supported
    in your operating system.

    I need to setup tar as an archiver on my system, and maybe xyzip or whatever its called.... Would be interesting to see someone using tar
    for a QWK packet!

    I have set up several additional archivers on my BBS, and I created an archiver setup guide in case anyone is interested (it's geared toward Windows, but assuming the same archivers are also available for *nix, the command lines are probably the same or similar): http://www.digitaldistortionbbs.com/SyncArcGuide.html
