Hello, Can someone show me the syntax for the use of the utility Unarc in the following situation: EQUIPMENT: A500 ONE drive only! I have the Unarc utility AND the file to be Unarc'd on the same disk. I have been UNarcing in this manner: COPY File.arc ram: CD ram: Unarc file then…. COPY ram:file df0: No real problems. BUT now….. The file I'm trying to unarc is too LARGE to fit in RAM at the same time that the un-arc'd files are being created. I have only 500K avalable.I get a "DISK FULL" error (in reference to the RAM disk) during the un-arcing process. THE QUESTION: How do I un-arc WITHOUT going thru RAM? Essentially, I looking for the syntax to unarc disk-to-disk using ONE drive and TWO different disks.(The WB disk and the disk I want my un-arc'd file on). Actually…there are 3 disks involved. The original WB disk I boot the system from, the disk containing the ARC'd file, and the disk I want my UN-arc'd file to go too. Hope I made this clear. Thanks, Al (I-got-to-get-a-second-drive!)
