David,
what you do is to 'cd' to the destination you want the file to go before
you issue the command, and the unarced files will go there. I suppose an
example is in order since that'll make it clearer.
Let's say that I've got Probe.arc on my floppy named "Downloads" and I
want to de-arc the file to a floppy called "Probe". I'd issue the following
commands:
cd Probe: this points us toward the destination
arc -x Downloads:Probe.arc This preforms it.
Or you could use device names (df0: and df1:) instead. If Probe.arc was
on a floppy in df0: and the disk you want to put it on is in df1: then the
commands are:
cd df1:
arc -x df0:Probe.arc
Pretty straightfoward, and I apoligize in advance if I oversimplified
anything. Hope this helps.
