The compressor/decompressors are stored in Data Library 4. A "help downloading" text file named HELP3.DOC is in Data Library 2. If you require further guidance, just ask, and tell us what kind of terminal program you're using (so we'll know what file-transfer protocols you have).

Hi, Steve, ] Welcome to the forum. You'll feel like an old hand in a few days. The files you might need (choose according to your own needs) are in Library 4 of AmigaTech. Each of the compression files is there in compressed form, complete with documentation, but is also there in binary forum ready to run as soon as you have downloaded it. ARC.EXE for the programs with names ending in .ARC ZOO.EXE for the programs with names ending in .ZOO LHARC.EXE for program with names ending in .LZH In case you need it, there is also ARCHLP.EXE – a tutorial on the use of the three archivers listed above. If you need more help, let us know. ……Betty

Archivers are all kept in library 4 of AmigaTech. You might want to download the file "ARCHLP.EXE", which is a tutorial on how to run the various archivers/decompressors on the Amiga. Steve
