  5. There is something new (?) to the Amiga community... The FILE_ID.DIZ text
  6. in archives. In a lot of archives you will find a file called FILE_ID.DIZ.
  7. There SHOULD be a description of the archive in this text, so it would be
  8. nice if you are able to read only that one file from an archive.
