#arc
3 messages in this thread
Betty: I have another problem with ARC. I have ARC.022 (renamed ARC) in my c
directory. I have in the past been able to unarc files that I've downloaded.
Today, tho, I have the until-now untried opportunity to ARC two files into one
file for uploading.
Every time I have tried ARC A , with any combination of names after it, I get
the message "I have no work to do!" and the program ends. I have not yet
created the archive, but I understood from the limited documentation that a
would create the archive if one didn't already exist.
The ARC is in the c directory on the disk in df0:. The two files I want to
archive are Information.txt and Welcome.ps, which are located on the disk in
df1:. I want to create an archive file called Welcome.arc.
I want the archive file to either be on RAM: or df1:.
Can you help me with the syntax?
Thanks===

Ken,
CD to RAM:
Type the following:
arc a welcome df1:information.txt df1:welcome.ps
BTW, ARC can't handle those long filesnames, so they may get cut off in
the arcive.

Ken,
I know this will work. There are probably other ways. Anyway, make a
directory in RAM: – call it anything – and copy your two files to it. Suppose
the directory is called UPL. You now have two files in UPL.
CD RAM:UPL
ARC A RAM:WELCOME.ARC
And that should do it. It will put everything in the directory into the arc
file. Let me know if you have more problems.
