Not illegal, they are just discarded. Sort of like 'run >nil:'. And if
you want to use ny return value you don't use CALL of course.

I'm working on a universal archive converter. You can set it up to
convert any type of archive to any format you like. Here's some
examples:

rx arc2arc dl:#?.lha dl:imdb/applydiffs.tgz dl:pc/pics.zip lzx

converts all the above files to lzx.

rx arc2arc dl:kiss/xfiles.lzh zip

converts xfiles.lzh to zip.

If you're interested in having a look I can email it to you.
