While trying to un-archive the distribution of PC-Moria, ARCE bombed with the message "Invalid Archive Format" while trying to uncompress the file "moria.cnf". This was the third file that ARCE was trying to uncompress. If anyone else has seen this happen or can suggest a fix, please mail me. I will summarize to the net if the responses I get merit. It is possible that I might be running too old a version of ARCE. If so, can someone send me a copy of a more recent version? Thank you in advance, Ray -- Ray Allen | Someday I'm going to have to change my .signature. utcsri!ray | All of the above is usually my own opinion.

This happens because I absent-mindedly allowed the moria archive, and one or two others, to go through with some "Squashed" files in it. (Sorry -- I will avoid this in the future.) Please see if you can get PKXARC to extract it. -- Rahul Dhesi UUCP: <backbones>!{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!dhesi ARPA: bsu-cs!dhesi@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu

Still, I appreciate your avoiding squashing as I do not have a Unix ARC which can handle squashed files (blasted things!) since it saves my having to send the archive to my PC for re-arc'ing (actually, I use ZOO :-), thanks, Rahul) and then sending back so I can put it on my archive tape. regards, Larry -- Signed: Larry A.

Curious! I used atoz to convert the .ARC file to a ZOO archive with the command: atoz -temp c:/tmp -nowait -prog arce -source mor4873.arc and it worked OK - no complaints from arce at all! I just went back and re-did the whole uudecode-arce again with no problems. Moria.doc and moria.exe were "squashed" while the others were "crunched." My copy of arce (V3.1b dated 9/16/87) worked just fine. kEITH
