    Jas,

    That is exactly what I was looking for. A program that would run from the
    file listing. Optimally it would just be a baja script that you would execute when the user hits [V] to view files, or an external door app (not
    necessarily baja) that would serve the same function.

    I went down the route of using the temp menu. It is full-featured but it
    lacks the simple elegance traditionally found in bbs archive viewing apps.

    Thanks,

    -hL!

    yeah just write a script that will extract the files to a temp dir or
    file and display it to a user.

    you can call it the same way you would call pkunzip,etc

    i dont think such a thing would get much usage though.
