No need to re-invent the wheel. There are already IBM-PC programs to deal with these files. Here is the latest info on bootstrap files available from SIMTEL20. --Keith GETTING STARTED CP/M-80 files: PD:<CPM.STARTER-KIT>COMPRESS.TXT <--explains compressed files PD:<CPM.STARTER-KIT>LU300.DQC <--explains CP/M "LU" program PD:<CPM.STARTER-KIT>LU310.COM <--the LU program itself PD:<CPM.STARTER-KIT>LU310.HLP <--and a help file for it PD:<CPM.STARTER-KIT>SQ111.COM <--CP/M-80 file squeezer PD:<CPM.STARTER-KIT>SQUEEZE.TXT <--explains squeezed files PD:<CPM.STARTER-KIT>UNARC.COM-Z80 <--extracts files from ARCs (Z80 only) PD:<CPM.STARTER-KIT>UNARCA.COM-8080 <--ditto, for 8080 PD:<CPM.STARTER-KIT>USQ120.COM <--CP/M-80 file unsqueezer PD:<CPM.STARTER-KIT>USQ120.DOC <--how to use it PD:<CPM.STARTER-KIT>UUDECODE.COM <--uudecode for CP/M-80 PD:<CPM.STARTER-KIT>UUENCODE.COM <--uuencode for CP/M-80 MS/PCDOS files: PD:<MSDOS.STARTER>ARC51.COM <--when run makes ARC512.EXE and DOC PD:<MSDOS.STARTER>ARCE120.COM <--fast ARC file extractor PD:<MSDOS.STARTER>ARCE120.DOC <--how it works PD:<MSDOS.STARTER>ARCV106.COM <--ARC directory lister PD:<MSDOS.STARTER>ARCV106.MSG <--how it works PD:<MSDOS.STARTER>LUE220.COM <--extracts files from LBR's PD:<MSDOS.STARTER>LUE220.DOC <--how it works PD:<MSDOS.STARTER>LUU208.LBR <--adds files to LBR's PD:<MSDOS.STARTER>NUSQ110.COM <--file UnSQueezer PD:<MSDOS.STARTER>NUSQ110.DOC <--how it works PD:<MSDOS.STARTER>SQDATE.DOC <--how dates are put into squeezed files PD:<MSDOS.STARTER>SQPC129.DOC <--how SQPC12A works PD:<MSDOS.STARTER>SQPC12A.COM <--file SQueezer PD:<MSDOS.STARTER>UUDECODE.BAS <--decodes uuencoded files (BASIC) (slow) PD:<MSDOS.STARTER>UUDECODE.EXE <--decodes uuencoded files PD:<MSDOS.STARTER>UUDECODE.PAS <--decodes uuencoded files (Turbo Pascal) PD:<MSDOS.STARTER>UUENCDEC.DOC <--notes on uuencode/uudecode EXE for MSDOS PD:<MSDOS.STARTER>UUENCODE.EXE <--makes uuencoded files, see DOC file note PD:<MSDOS.STARTER>UUENCODE.PAS <--makes uuencoded files (Turbo Pascal)
