Currently, adding a file requires the "a" append mode, while the "w" mode re-writes the file. Adding a duplicate file name produces an error message. I can change this, but removing a file would either waste space, or else the file contents must be copied over the old file and all the offsets updated. I don't like this because it is complicated, and I think it is fast enough to just re-write the archive. But it could be added if people want. > True. How about making the compression argument mandatory > for file opened in 'wb' mode only ? The default of zero provides a little guidance that you should use zero. I added a warning message if 8 is used which should discourage people from using 8. Or I could disallow 8. Is that OK? JimA
