I'd like to add a few.
	- Batch handling in mini-shell (rm *.O, rmdir *, etc.)
	- Forcible removal of non-empty directories (recursive rmdir/rm *)
	- Partial install of archives

Can you tell I really don't like man pages?

	- Installation of gzipped files not containing tar archives
	- A method of selecting a MacOS path other than the most recently
	  used archive install path for cpin and cpout
	- How about at least an error message when the archive isn't valid....

What language is the original written in?  I'd be willing to help with 
things like my mini-shell suggestions if somebody can convert it from
Unix C (the only language I know besides BASIC and LOGO).

Just a few thoughts,
