     I have noticed this, the hard way, when recovering memory from an
archive. I noticed that the libraries don't come back. I was considering
writing a program which first recalled the libraries to real variables
first (what a mess) but then I began to wonder if you can run
an archive from a program. Haven't tried it yet.

     Along the lines of backup, the one thing I don't like about the
archive files is that you can only recover everything from them.
I've been thinking of writing a utility which would archive files
individually, so that you could do selective restores. It would run
slightly longer for a full backup, but I'm willing to wait, for the
added functionality.
