<P STYLE="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">Comments in NuFX archives use a "pre-sized" buffer.&nbsp; For example, when GS/ShrinkIt adds files or disks to an archive, the first entry has space set aside for a 200-character comment.&nbsp; The idea was to allow comments to be updated without having to shift lots of data around to make room.&nbsp; This space is allocated by GS/ShrinkIt whether you choose to write a comment or not.&nbsp; Any comments you add with CiderPress will also be "over-sized".</FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;"><FONT FACE="MS Sans Serif" SIZE="2">If you enable the "Mimic ShrinkIt" feature on the <A HREF="t19.htm">General Preferences</A> screen, CiderPress will behave like GS/ShrinkIt and add an empty comment to the first entry whenever you add files or disks to an archive.</FONT></P>
