     Yes, though, "DOC" is not liked for me, because reminds MS Word. This
directory, probably, may be called MAN (from "manual").

     Also, I think, the more applications, the more files with licenses,
which usually are the same (and big!). So, I suggest, that common licenses
(with appropiate name - say, GPL2, LGPL) should be placed into DOC (or MAN)
itself.

EA> BUT I would not start and change all zip files!

     This is task for distributive collector - anyway most/many archives are
not follow to hierarhy agreement. For example, ATTRIB.LSM in my archive
(was) placed in root, not to APPINFO subdirectory.

     BTW, Jim, what you say about next hierarchy:

______________O\_/_________________________________\_/O______________
Contents
--------

attrib.com   - ATTRIB utility executable

APPINFO\
attrib.lsm   - package description file

DOC\
gpl2         - GNU General Public License file

DOC\ATTRIB\
files.lst    - this file
attrib.txt   - main documentation for ATTRIB
plans.txt    - list of suggestions for ATTRIB
history.txt  - detailed version history

SOURCE\ATTRIB\
attrib.c     - ATTRIB utility source code
...
_____________________________________________________________________
              O/~\                                 /~\O

?

     Agreed.
