IIRC, there was a minor gotcha in the version of DAR that I was
working with when I wrote daromizer having to do with the option file
feature. I think.  Either that or I was just being lazy.  8-)>

I want to do some re-arranging of the way daromizer calls dar anyway -
it's too clanky making the user have to change perl code to use it. It
was always one of those "I'll get to it soon" projects...  about 2
years back, I think.  I'll try to get this into .81 too.
