(A.C.T.) - September 1998 Edition
I have decided to add an Options List which shows what archivers
support certain major options. If you think I should add another
category to the list or you see an error, please let me know. If there
is an error, please tell me what switch will activate the command that
I missed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
MULTI-DISK SPAN = Ability to span an archive over two or more disks
AUTH. VERI. = Authentication Verification (Security Envelope)
DATA PROT = Data Protection Encoding (Stores Error Recovery Info)
CRYPT = Ability to encrypt files in archive with password (Garble)
SFX = Ability to create Self-Extracting Archives (.EXE)
GUI = Graphical or Text Shell to manage archiver functions and select
files for compression/decompression
MIN. CPU/RAM = Minimum PC CPU and RAM (in megabytes) to run archiver
If no value for RAM is given, archiver will run in 640k
WIN95 LONG FILES = Ability to store and extract Windows95 long filenames
* - UC2 comes with a utility (SAS.EXE) to SPLIT archives into chunks
and then rebuild them after. This is not nearly as nice as
multi-disk spanning.
- INFO-ZIP comes with a utility called ZIPSPLIT which does the same
thing as UC2's SAS utility.
% - UC2 uses shared dictionaries between file collections to utilize
similarities between files.
A - The A denotes that the archiver always compresses in SOLID mode
