Would those who posted CRIBBAGE.ARC, FILSPY12.ARC and STRABBLE.ARC please post them again. When I download them (with mode BIN = IMAGE) they have errors in them (and won't un-arc). Maybe they got FTP'd to U-Mich with mode = ASCII? Anybody else who'se posted something: It wouldn't hurt to download your posting from atari.archive to make sure it got posted OK. My SORTDEMO.ARC is busted, and I'll be re-posting it soon. Van. -- vsnyder@jato.Jpl.Nasa.Gov ames!elroy!jato!vsnyder vsnyder@jato.uucp

Maybe STRABBLE is OK: I tested the archive with PKXARC on a PC, not with ARC 6.02, which I now understand is required. -- vsnyder@jato.Jpl.Nasa.Gov ames!elroy!jato!vsnyder vsnyder@jato.uucp

Mode = ASCII simply won't work, so that cannot be the problem. More likely you are trying to use old arc on them (you should have guessed that from the fact that they are ALL .arc files) STrabble.arc, for example has directories included in it. I haven't seen ARC 6.0 for Unix, but it is available on atari.archive in atari/archivers. >Anybody else who'se posted something: It wouldn't hurt to download your >posting from atari.archive to make sure it got posted OK. My SORTDEMO.ARC >is busted, and I'll be re-posting it soon. I'm not sure downloading `wouldnt hurt' - bandwidth is bandwidth. STrabble.arc is about 370K you know. If someone else who has successfully downloaded CRIBBAGE.ARC, FILSPY12.ARC or STRABBLE.ARC could follow-up, that would be a help. Warwick. ps. Using old Arc, you'll get a `I THINK YOU NEED A NEWER VERSION OF ARC TO UNPACK THIS FILE' type message. -- _ |\ warwick@batserver.cs.uq.oz.au / `-' * <-- Computer Science Department, \__--_/ University of Queensland, V AUSTRALIA.
