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.
