No, Svobi wrote that first part. Folks are regularly misattributing stuff to

It makes possible shell processing of the archiving functions, under the aegis
of some other program, such as ZTree or FM/2. If you ever see a menu item in
your xyz program that lets you switch between Zip, PKZip, Arj, RAR, etc., for
archive / de-archive purposes (and "xyz" program is not itself a multi-mode
archiver program), then ARCHIVER.BB2 is most likely what is making this
possible.
