I suggest that you use zoo (at least as a basis for modification).  It
satisifes all of your criteria, copied below, except as noted:

>(1) must be publicly available
	Yes.
>(2) must default to unpacking the directory structure
	Yes.
>(3) must be able to ship with commercial distributions of djgpp
	Yes.
>(4) should support comments about the *archive* (available when listing)
	Yes.
>(5) should support mutli-floppy unpacking
	No.
>(6) should provide sources (GPL is best).
	Yes.  (Copyright essentially equivalent to GPL.)
 (+) should preserve empty directories
	No.

Zoo.210, dated July 1991 is available from the sixhup server.

Good Luck:
