   Hello g00r00!   
      
   Thank you for your reply!

   Yes, you're probably right -- it is more secure to leave it the way it is.   
   Even if this (for "conventional" archivers, which don't usually appear to have   
   support for writing their output to a file on their own) means an extra blurb   
   at the end of the View Cmd command line.   
      
   Thanks for the clarification!   
      
   Best regards
