   Hmm.. I would think a dash in the PA field would do it .. like:   
      
   [nodes]   
   1:23/45 passwpasswd  passwd  passwd  passwd  XF  H   -   
   1:23/75 passwpasswd  passwd  passwd  passwd  XF  H   2   
      
   Top example is what I'm talking about.. the second line is just and example   
   with zip as the packer.   
      
   If you don't specify the packer where the dash is, I would think bbbs would   
   leave it unarchived?   
      
   Take care,   
   Janis
