Put the disk with probe.arc in df1:, the disk you want the unarced files on in df0: then type: cd df0: arc x df1:probe.arc If you don't have two drives, try copying probe.arc to ram:, then try: cd df0: arc x ram:probe.arc If you haven't enough ram, then try: cd "Destination disk name:" arc x "Original disk name:probe.arc and be prepared to do a lot of disk swapping. In each case, this assumes that arc is in your current path. The best place for it is in the C directory on your boot disk. If arc isn't in your current path, you will have to include a complete path to it: "The disk with arc on it:arc directory/arc" x "Original disk name:probe.arc"
