 # natool: a wrapper script to patool to list, extract and create archives
 #
-# usage: natool [-l] [-x] [archive] [file/dir]
+# usage: natool [-a] [-l] [-x] [archive] [file/dir]
 #
 # Examples:
+# - create archive : natool -a archive.7z archive_dir
 # - list archive   : natool -l archive.7z
 # - extract archive: natool -x archive.7z
-# - create archive : natool archive.7z archive_dir
 #
 # Brief:
 # natool is written to integrate patool (instead of the default atool) with nnn
-# Two copies of this file should be dropped somewhere in $PATH - atool, apack
+# A copies of this file should be dropped somewhere in $PATH as atool
