You'll find the information in the enclosed extract from my /pc/ts/tsfaq11.arc questions & answers collection: 13. ***** Q1: What is this file with this .zip (or whatever) 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, .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 directory at the anonymous ftp site uwasa.fi, or at practically any 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 pak250.exe NoGate (un)packing for .pak and .arc files pk361.exe This packs and unpacks .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. ...................................................................

You need the program LHARC.exe to extract from .lzh archives. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ If a jimbuck stands alone by the sea, on a night when the ~ ~ dark moon sings, how many grains on sand in a single one of ~ ~ his footprints? ~ ~ ~ ~ steve kite - hp-ptp!stevek - stevek@hp-ptp.HP.COM ~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You won't believe this, but back on 29/Oct/90 (was a Mon BTW) at about 17:20, Jeff Sullivan said this to All: > How do you do it? > I know ZIP, ZOO, ARC, but I don't know LZH! You need a program called lharc. Version 1.13 is the latest.

The 1.14 version of LHARC is not valid. Use only the 1.13 version. PK361 is an outdated and court-ruled invalid program. PKzip 1.10 is the latest version of zip in both the US and overseas. Zoo an PAK seem to be the latest versions.

In-Reply-To: message from jas@ISI.EDU The program to un-arc them is called LhArc. This has nothing to do with the extension .lzh but that's what it is anyway. =============================================================================== ProLine: jimf@pro-gateway Internet: jimf@pro-gateway.cts.com UUCP: crash!pro-gateway!jimf ARPA: crash!pro-gateway!jimf@nosc.mil BITNET: jimf%pro-gateway.cts.com@nosc.mil ====================Pro-Gateway 214/644-5113 3/12/2400 baud====================
