Get FileList 1.3 (?) from the sumex archives.  Awhile ago, just as I was
getting ready to post my nifty hypercard stack that catalogged disks AND 
catalogged the files within Stuffit archives, the guy who wrote FileList
somehow read my mind and posted a real application that did the same thing,
only better!  He put out the source code along with it, so you could
customize it.  While it seems that Compactor may grab a share of the mac
compression war, FileList could use a routine that reads compactor archives,
so hopefully the author will add that soon (if not I've written a routine
that will do it).

My favorite use of FileList is to keep the little catalog on disk, an
whenever I need a file off a floppy, I just run FileList and it will tell me
which disk it's on.
