Kurt, first of all….place the MOUNT VD0: at the top of your startup-sequence, ie: the first command. That will ensure a non-corrupted VD0:. If you want to ARC many files, you can do a few things. You can list all the files you want to ARC on the command line. This is tedious when you have many files though. IF all the files you are going to ARC are in their own directory, you can "ARC a File.ARC dfx:[path/]#?". If the files are in the root directory of a device, you would use "ARC a File.ARC dfx:#?", if in a sub-directory then "ARC a File.ARC dfx:Dirname/#?", where dfx: is the device, Dirname is the directory name, and #? is a match for any file. You can use any pattern matching wild card, I used the #? because it is all encompasing.
