I downloaded the file "GEOPROGINFO.ARC" and tried to uncompress it with Archive 2.5 but got a "disk full" message. I don't see how it is possible to uncompress this file with a 1541 drive, since Archive puts the uncompressed files on the same disk as the compressed ones. The size of the uncompressed files and the original file together exceed 664 blocks. Anyone successfully uncompress this file with a 1541? By the way, has anyone read those files? Is it even worth my time to try to get them? They sounded interesting, anyway. J. P. Grenert hamilton@brahms.udel.edu

You will probably need access to a 1571, since the archive contains about 700 or so blocks of text. However, they are not all in one file, so you could conceivably un-archive a few files at a time (read your manual!) onto separate disks. ARC also allows you to extract files to a different drive than the one containing the .ARC. >By the way, has anyone read those files? Is it even worth my time to try to >get them? They sounded interesting, anyway. If you are going to program in GEOS, it would behoove you to read the files. If you are just using GEOS, they will probably not interest you. -- David DeSimone, aka "Fuzzy Fox" on some networks. /!/! INET: an207@cleveland.freenet.edu / ..
