It's not much more complicated in Thad Floryan's article.
The Size file has to be the first one in the archive, 'cause the system
checks for space before processing the rest of the archive.
The document to reference is in a bound section inside the manual set
entitled, "AT&T UNIX PC Interface Specification", look in Chapter 5 (page 2-53)
At one time, I had a makefile which produced Size, etc. automagicly
from a list of files, it's gone now, but I remember it as not being
all that difficult to produce.
