Hips, Someone (I truely do not remember who...) figured out a nice
trick, and I will (ofcourse) tell you all :-)

Below is an asciie representation of bank 2 from OPUS I used to use:

DMS MAKE  LHA MAKE  ZOO MAKE  SHR MAKE  HPC MAKE  DISK WRITE  ALL
DMS TEST  LHA TEST  ZOO TEST  SHR TEST  HPC TEST  WARP MAKE   NONE
DMS VIEW  LHA VIEW  LHA VIEW  SHR VIEW  HPC VIEW  WARP EX     TOGGLE
DMS EX    LHA EX    LHA EX    SHR EX    HPC EX    ALL2LHA     DELETE

Big what ?

MY second bank NOW looks like this:

DMS MAKE  LHA MAKE  ZOO MAKE  SHR MAKE  HPC MAKE  ALL
DMS VIEW  LHA VIEW  LHA VIEW  SHR VIEW  HPC VIEW  TOGGLE
                                                  DELETE
ARC TEST  ARC EX


MUCH BETTER !!


NEW TRICK !

Use one button to extract ALL archives, use another to TEST ALL
archives. How ? This is how :

Enter your config-editor. Choose filetypes. Search for LHA (as an
example), click it, and search for USER1 in the events list.

Select it, click till you see AMIGADOS, and enter c:LHA -x -M x {f}

Click CD DESTINATION
      DO ALL FILES
      OUTPUT WINDOW
      RESCAN DESTINATION
as flags. Set close delay to -1 if desired (output window will wait
after finishing, till you press your mouse...)

Next select USER4 as event and enter LHA t {f} (again with AMIGADOS in
front). 

click OUTPUT WINDOW
as flag.

OKAY till you can save. DO SO !

Now enter buttons. Pick a button, and enter USER1 as a command. Label
the button as ARC xtract, set flag DO ALL FILES, and okay.

Pick another button, enter USER4 as a command, and label it ARC TEST.
Again as flag DO ALL FILES.

Now if you have an LHA archive, you press 'ARC xtract', and the archive
will be extracted to the destination window, OR if you press 'ARC TEST',
the archive will be tested...

MAGIC !

Again, go to filetypes, pick (another example) DMS.

At event USER1 enter:

AmigaDOS    c:dms write {f} to {d} noverify nopause
Command     FinishSection
Command     DopusToFront

Select OUTPUT WINDOW
and    WORKBENCH TO FRONT
as flags.

At event USER4 enter:

AmigaDOS    c:DMS Test {f}
AmigaDOS    c:waitlmb

Select OUTPUT WINDOW as flag.

The magic begins ! Return to DOPUS, choose a DMS archive, click on the
ARC TEST button you made with LHA, and hey... IT TESTS DMS ARCHIVES TOO
!!

For ANY archive that supports a TEST option (read their doc-files), enter 
the test option on event USER4 in the filetypes part , and test it with the 
same button ! (same goes for EX, on event USER1).

TIP: See if you use 'click'n'click' as an event. COPY the contents into
the USER1 event -> READY ! Extract all sorts of archives with one
button...


Let me know what you think, and if you use it (and why not...?).
