Russ, The file must have the filename extension .ARC so if it's not named myfile.arc (caps don't matter) then rename it and try again. Also, you have to be in the same directory where myfile.arc is, or tell ARC where that particular file is. Example, ARC is in the C directory, myfile.arc is in a directory called downloads and you wish the files within myfile.arc written to a directory called goodies. change directories to goodies (CD :GOODIES) enter the following command: ARC X :DOWNLOADS/MYFILE That presumes that both downloads and goodies are directories at the disk level, and not subdirectories. If they are subdirectories, then just add the proper path. If the files are on different disks, then add the disk name. Example: CD DF1:FUN/GOODIES ARC X DF0:COMPUSERVE/DOWNLOADS/MYFILE Again, the use of capitals or lower case doesn't matter. Don
