Hmm.. I'm not sure I follow you entirely here, but yes, it can be
tedious making directory structures if they're complex. What I do to
make archives is create or copy the whole structure and all the files
in a temporary place on my HDD or in RAM: and then archive the whole
lot in one go. The archive program will retain the directory
structure.
The point of this is that its a lot easier to move or rename stuff on
disk, and you can create algorithmic CLI or REXX scripts if you want
dozens of directories (a thru z, perhaps?) and so on.
Alternatively, DOpus Mag2 contains a facility to treat an archive as a
disk directory for read or write. I believe there is something similar
on Aminet too.
Like I said, I didn't quite follow your query, so if thats all a load
of irrelevant twaddle..... :-)
Cheers,
Ian
