Henry, The same way you deARC and Amiga file. Download the archive onto one disk (or RAM: or whatever). Have the program ARC (renamed from ARC.EXE) in your C: directory or copy it into RAM:. Then CD to the disk where you want the archive extracted and type ARC x <pathed arc filename> (or RAM:ARC x <pathed arc filename>) example, you downloaded to a disk named "Downloads" which is in drive 2 (df2:). You want to place it on a disk named "Programs" which is not currently in a drive, and your boot disk has ARC in it's C directory. Method #1: copy df2:goodfile.arc ram: now, remove "Downloads" from df2: and insert "Programs" cd df2: arc x ram:goodfile Method #2: copy c:arc ram: copy c:cd ram: now, remove your boot disk from df0: and insert "Programs" ram:cd df0: ram:arc x df2:goodfile Either should work just fine.
