I downloaded some files via ftp from mars.ee.msstate.edu. Several of them seem to be in parts, with each part called something like "1!PROGRAMNAME" (with each file having a different number in the beginning). I tried running each of the individual parts, but each time I tried, the computer just crashed or I'd type 'run' and nothing would happen. Are these programs in some archive form which needs to be decoded? I have never seen files named like that on any other system, and there's no "lnx", "arc", or any other suffix at the end which could tell me what kind of de-archive program to use. Any ideas out there? hamilton@brahms.udel.edu

You need the ZIP/UNZIP program. I believe it is available on one of the CBM ftp sites. It doesn't dissolve on the same disk (like Lynx does) so if all the files (1!, 2!, 3!, 4!...) don't fit on the same disk, it's no problem. It basically compresses the WHOLE disk into a few files (1!, 2!, etc...). -- Miguel Pedro (Send any E-mail to cinf07@info.polymtl.ca)

Sounds like zip to me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | @ | Internet:wrasman@cs.utk.edu | |(!=>--- | Bitnet:Razron@utkvx | |/ ) Raz | Usnail: 1629 w.
