I tried and it works great. My question is, what's so hard about typing PKXARC <arc file> ? NARC is real neat with the menus and stuff, perhaps it is better described as a .ARC file manager. I am the kind that unarcs the file once then stores the .ARC on disk separately. NARC would actually slow down unarcing for me. I do like this program's style, just the same. Jamie

Jamie, I guess it is all in the way we deal with files. I usually download several .arc files from a bbs. Sometimes a few big onea and sometimes many littles ones. I use to UnArc them all and play with them a little or read the docs, but in the end I usually erased all but the ARCed files. With Narc I don't have to 1) use up alot of disk space, 2) remember the options with PKXARC and 3) I don't have to remember the file names. Yes it is a ARC manager, but I feel it is easier to use than PKXARC. For people who have enough trouble dealing with a computer, I feel it will make using ARC files a little bit easier. Isn't that what utilities are all about? Bottom line – "I" just like the program! It obviously ain't for everybody! But as I find them, I'll share them. RHM isn't so bad! Thanks for the comments Tim Barber Sysop/ TAG Board Durham, NC .

No problem. I like the utility, and I know there are many who will use it. My use is much different than the norm, I am sure. Jamie
