CANZLOG Archive file management

CANZLOG archive management improvements for archive files.    There needs to be a means to correlate updates to index and CZTOPAGE with automatic deletion of archive files.  
...
Ideally, provide a 'CZTOARCH' or equivalent that specifies the number of days to retain Archive files and perform index cleanup.
...
The automatic process could also automatically cleanup up old index files and index entries.
