#help – DL'ing/archiving

help-
I'm knew to telecomputing and I'm having a tough time
I down loaded the file Whap!1.9.lzh and I can't unarchive it. I
downloaded a file archiv but my amiga tells me that it's not an object
module, although it seems to have d/led ok What's wrong? Also, is there
doc files for either of these programs?
I'd really appreciate some kind assistance
Steve
Steve,
Whap19.LZH is a compressed file which must be expanded with the LHARC
program. That program is available in AmigaTech DL 4 (Telecommunications)
as LHARC.EXE, which is in executable form. Go into AmigaTech, download
LHARC.EXE, rename it to LHARC and you'll be able to extract the Whap!
package.
You might also wish to get the executable program ARCHLP.EXE, available in
the same DL as LHARC. This explains a lot about the different compression
methods. (Remember to change its name to ARCHLP. The .EXE extension has
no meaning to the Amiga. It's only there to indicate to people browsing the
DL's that it is an executable program as opposed to .TXT, .ARC, .ZOO, etc.)
Hope this helps. 8)

Steve,
You need LHARC.EXE from Library 4. When you download it, put it right into
your c: directory. To do that, have your Workbench in df0:, and – when the
system asks for the 'Name for your computer:', type:
DF0:C/LHARC
Then, with WHAP19.LZH on a disk in df1: and lots of room on that disk,
type:
CD DF1: LHARC -X X DF1:WHAP19
That will unpack all the files for you. You can see them by typing DIR
DF1: in a CLI.
You will need to print the documentation file on your printer:
COPY DF1:WHAP.DOC PRT:
If you need more help, please ask.
