Jeff, The system is not finding your archiver programs. I assume that your workbench is on your hard drive, and that you have both floppies free for working. I gather, from what you said, that all of the downloaded files are on a disk that you put into df0: If that is so, you can run ARCHLP.EXE by typing df0:archlp.exe also, to unarc one of them, say Whap! – I would suggest putting that one onto a disk all by itself. Format a disk names Whap (no exclamation point) and put it into df1: Then, put your downloads disk into df0: and type: cd df1: lharc.exe -m -x x df0:whp19c If you rename those files, you won't have to type the .EXE every time. rename df0:lharc.exe df0:lharc rename df0:arc.exe df0:arc etc. (Do this ONLY for those with .EXE on the end.) To unarc something onto the same disk as the downloads, say MOSTRA.LZH, do this: MAKEDIR DF0:MOSTRA CD DF0:MOSTRA df0:lharc -m -x x DF0:MOSTRA If you want an icon for that directory, get it by : COPY WORKBENCH:EMPTY.INFO DF0:MOSTRA.INFO (though you may have to substitute the name of your workbench.) If you need more help, please do ask. (And be sure to keep the .LZH, .ZOO, etc. on the end of the archived files. The archivers have to find those three letters in order to work.) Betty
