                           -= INFORMATIONAL TEXT=-

 OVERVIEW 

DIZ4DESC will search ZIP/ARJ/LZH/ARC/PAK/HYP/ZOO archives for FILE_ID.DIZ or
DESC.SDI descriptions and extract information to create 4DOS descriptions.
Will not replace existing descriptions. Marks failed descriptions with -?-.

DIZ4DESC will also use an intelligent extraction routine for reduced and
consice descriptions which won't take up as many 4DOS description lines!
