    From Kostie Muirhead@VERT to All on Mon May 18 23:33:35 2015
    I'm in the process of adding some old night owl cds to the file areas for nostalgia sake. I set up all the areas for the first cd and added all the files with addfiles before realizing none of the zips had a file_id in them. If I create a file list and use addfiles again, can I add the descriptions in, or is it going to create duplicates?

    ADDFILES will not create duplicates and it has command-line options to control whether it will update/change existing directory entries or only create new/additional ones.
