I've looked at Archiver, and I think it does what Marty described,
but I think there's an omission that makes it not so useful
in some cases -- correct me if I'm wrong.  The key is Marty's
phrase, "The owner can ...".  Looks like Archiver is a "personal"
system, in that only the owner can archive a file and only the
owner can refer to and retrieve a file, regardless of the VMS
access allowed.  This seems quite inconvenient when a group
shares a group of files.
