Betty-
Still can't get ARC to run. Whether I try to run it either from c:
directory or disk I get error message 103:Unable to load ARC: insufficient free
store. I've got 800K+ available, so I don't think memory is the problem.
Suggestions?

Chris,
Find PKAX unarchiver. This is faster for unarcing. Also, try
another ARC from another source. If someone used something such as "PowerPac"
to crunch it, it may not work. I have had this happen to me.

Patrick, Thanks. The ARC was from this library. I'll try again.
Chris,
From the CLI, look at the length of your ARC program. To do that, type:
LIST DF0:C/A#?
This will list everything that starts with the letter A, but its a short list.
Then, look in the column that gives the file length. It ought to be about
50252 (that's the length of mine). It is possible that you have a corrupted
file. If it is the right length, that will eliminate that possibility. Then
we';; try something else.

Betty, Thanks. I'll give it a try. Chris
Betty, the copy of Arc that _I_ have is 50328.
We all seem to have slight variations in length! Mine works; Marlene's works;
yours works. I don't know the difference. Perhaps my hunch about the
non-working ARC was just all wrong. Sorry.

The ARC.EXE that's in LIB 4 has been 'hunk padded' to a multiple of 128 bytes
to eliminate xmodem padding.

Thanks, Larry. Now why didn't I think of that!

Betty,
Don't feel bad… it's one of those things you tend to notice after having
struggled to get an XModem implementation running right on a machine that needs
a real protocol. 🙂
