   Hello g00r00!   
      
   Just a suggestion to add "--" to the command lines (Pack Cmd, Unpack Cmd, View   
   Cmd) of archivers, where possible, to avoid filenames starting with "-" to be   
   interpreted as options.   
      
   My findings are that this can be done for zip, rar and 7z, but NOT for lha (or   
   zoo or arc, if you have those).   
      
   N.B.: For the zip Unpack Cmd, the -- is not allowed until AFTER the archive   
   name!   
   Pack Cmd ³ zip -qj9 "%1" -- %2   
      
   Best regards   
   Bj”rn
