I cant seem to get ARC128 to work for me. I assume that it has to be loaded while CS-DOS is in memory, because thats the only time it will even seem to run correctly. After that, none of the commands seem to work. All I get are SYNTAX ERRORS. I cant even get arc/? to work. Does anybody have any idea what might be wrong? I may have forgotten something, but the directions are pretty sketchy, and this is the first time that I have really experimented with any form of ARC. | CCCCC ======= Thanx - Matt Adair | CC === Internet: MLADAIR@MTUS5.CTS.MTU.EDU Bitnet: MLADAIR@MTUS5.BITNET

You must first INSTALL the program into the RAMdisk as an internal command. Type: INSTALL ARC128 If you like, rename ARC128 to ARC, so that the command is shorter to type. Do this before you install, though. -- begin 644 .signature G5&AI<R!S<&%C92!I;G1E;G1I;VYA;&QY(&QE9G0@8FQA;FLN#0H: end

You see, like a good boy, I followed the instructions in the .txt file, typing "arc/?", and got only SYNTAX ERRORs. The reason is: when you type arc, CS-DOS looks for the file named "arc." However, the real file is called "arc128" by default, so you need to type "arc128/?", instead of "arc/?". This is true whether the file has been installed in RAM or whether you are running it from disk. Good luck! -Rob rknop@juliet.caltech.edu
