Okay, as I haven't seen the accompanying documentation until now, one
remark:

| printer_dat (usually called "arch_dat" [...]

and

This is not true. If Archive wants to print something, it looks for an
archv_dat (not arch_dat) file to do it. If that is not found, it looks
for an xchange_dat (not printer_dat) file. Same is true for Quill
(quil_dat) and Abacus (abba_dat). So there is no need for this feature
to be "archive only", because the possibility for different drivers is
already inbuilt into XChange. Just do an archv_dat file with 0 lines
and for the other applications an xchange_dat file with a sensible
line number. This was one of Erling's changes and is described in his
readme_doc.
