What facility compresses files into .LBR files ??? If you can supply the weapon, I think I can find it. PAK doesn't work, so I thought I'd check with the experts !!! Thanks.

Well, the .LBR extension is the archive of a VERY old format... You may be able to find an old archiver called LU... That is what you use... Geesh! I didn't think people still used .LBR archives!! George Gwang@logic.nsc.com

Therefore, you only need LU to access a *.LBR library file, but you need both to access a *.LQR squeezed library file. The initial innovation of ARC was putting both of there functions into one integrated program. -- Simcha Lerner Kurzweil Applied Intelligence PLEASE NOTE ADDRESS: NO RETURN MAIL VIA bbn PLEASE UUCP address: kurz-ai!simcha@talcott.harvard.edu or: ...{uunet,rutgers,ames}!harvard!talcott!kurz-ai!simcha
