Thanks!

Any folder. Not necessarily AWGS.

Yes. I think so. HardPressed, or AA would then check to see if the file
was in the archive, just like a folder, and if it was, unpack the whole
archive. This would allow you to pack data files, and pictures etc. all
in one handy dandy little manuverable package.

Well, they take up a lot of room, and I know GSHK will crunch them pretty
well... Hmmm... More updates to buy. I don't know where people come up
with the $$ to complain that there aren't enought new products on the
market for them...
