[comp.sys.atari.st] Stupid question on using ARC for the ST

Azog-Thoth@cup.portal.com (William Thomas Daugustine) (05/31/91)

Like the title says, this is a simple, stupid question...

I downloaded a file called ARCsomething.TTP, and need to know the
syntax for using it. I tried all the possible combinations I could
think of, but theres obviously one I cant think of. I dont quite
recall the exact full name of the program, but it was something
like arc v6. If someone could help me out, mail me the doc file,
etc, Id like that :-)

Also, a similar note. I downloaded another file called arcsh20.prg,
but when I double-click on it, it gives me a TOS error #35.

No flames please, I am totally new to the Atari ST computer world,
so I still am getting used to the way things are done...

Thanx

Disagree... though it may be on FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) ?

X FILE.ARC                    - will extract all files from archive
X FILE.ARC FOO.BAR            - will extract file FOO.BAR from srchive
L FILE.ARC                    - will list files in archive (or is that `V' ?)

By the way, 6.02 is (I think) the latest version of ARC.

You may have forgotten to set the transfer mode to binary when you downloaded.
