I recently aquired a program called PkAx (Pick-Axe) which is an archive extraction utility which is very much faster than ARC. Using this program I am trying to develop a floppy enhancement system but have stumbled over the short filename allowance afforded by ARC (whose archives PkAx can decode). I have subsiquently tried using PkAx with Zoo encoded files, which it cannot handle :^(. In the documentation there is discussion of a program called PkARC, which will create archives, but it apparently is not available for the Amiga yet. Does anyone know when or if PkArc might be released? An alternatative would be to write a program which would rename files to be archived to short names and form a file which could be used to restore the original names after de-archiving. Does such a program already exist? Thanks, Wade. UUCP: {cbosgd, hplabs!hp-sdd, sdcsvax, nosc}!crash!pnet01!haitex ARPA: crash!pnet01!haitex@nosc.mil INET: haitex@pnet01.CTS.COM
