The /pc/arcers directory at garbo.uwasa.fi. An extract from /pc/ts/tsfaq17d.arc: 13. ***** Q1: What is this file with this .zip (.arc, .arj, .lzh, .pak, .sdn, .zoo) extension? 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, .arj, .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 garbo.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 .arc packing/unpacking system. arj100.zip Robert Kung's .arj archiver lh113de.exe Lharc for .lzh compression lha211.exe LHa for .lzh compression, English version. pak251.exe NoGate (un)packing for pak, arc, sdn, zip, 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/shez60b.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 garbo.uwasa.fi archives for the Unix versions. ...................................................................
