Can anyone tell me what utility is used to get into .LZH files and where I might find that utility (ftp site) ?

I hope this helps! )_Dennis_(

What am I supposed to do to it? Q2: I can't run this file I got with a .zip extension. A: This is a total beginner's question, but never mind. One is supposed to start from somewhere. These files with a .zip (.arc, .lzh, .pak. .zoo) are compressed collections of files. You are not supposed to run a compressed entity (often also called an archive). You are supposed to unpack it first to extract the files from within the package. For this you need the relevant (un)packing program. You can find them in the /pc/pd2 and /pc/arcers directories at the anonymous ftp site uwasa.fi, or at practically any fine bulletin board. (After you have gotten them, they are very easy to process, since most often these utilities are self-extracting). At the time of writing this we have eg arc602.exe SEA's packing/unpacking system. lh114b.exe Dense compression from Japan, (hacked?) version lh113de.exe Latest attested version for .lzh compression pak250.exe NoGate (un)packing for .pak and .arc files pk361.exe This packed and unpacked .arc files fast pkz110eu.exe PKZIP/PKUNZIP "Euroversion" with no encryption zoo201.exe Zoo packing/unpacking facility from Rahul Dhesi Once you are well familiar with unpacking and packing, there is an excellent shell for running these utilities. It is called SHEZ and is in version /pc/pd2/shez58.zip at the time I wrote this item. Another advanced feature once you get the hang of this, is that (most of) these are available in the Unix environment, as well. See the /unix/ts directory at uwasa.fi for the Unix versions. The wares are available by anonymous ftp from chyde.uwasa.fi, Vaasa, Finland, 128.214.12.3, or by using our mail server (use the latter if, and only if you don't have anonymous ftp). If you are not familiar with anonymous ftp or mail servers, I am prepared send prerecorded instructions on request. (If you don't get the instructions from me within a few days, it will mean that your email address cannot be reached by a simple email reply, and you wouldn't be able to utilize the mail server anyway.) ...................................................................

(the filename is compression). Todd. walk@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu
