	More comments on Strategic Information's Archiver:

	On TOPS-20 the archiver will place information about files it has
archived into the directory that the file came. Under the SI archiver it
places this information in one file. If you have to retrieve a file using the
SI archiver you may have to wait a long time.

	SI's Archiver may be limited to archiving only 99999 file since they
assign a number to each archive file and the number is only 5 digits large. I
am not sure about this information but no one at Strategic Information could
say otherwise.

	As of version 1.8 of archiver (July 1985) you can archive a file that
is not owned by you, but you must have read access to the file.
