I have downloaded the web browser lynx onto a disk along with the shell and a lha decompression program. However, I still can't open any of the files. Do I need to have specific file names? I simply called them lynx, shell, and decomp respectivly. What did I do wrong, or what do I need to do? Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

Compressed files need to retain their names until you have them unpacked. In particular, they have to have the extension (.LHA, .LZH, etc.) in order for the unpacker to recognize them. Have you unpacked LHA138.RUN yet? if not, I'd suggest that you first copy it to RAM:. Then CD RAM: lha138.RUN and then copy LHA to your c: directory: COPY LHA C: There will be a doc file in RAM: after you do this. You need to read it to see how LHA works – and really should copy it to a floppy or something so you can refer to it as needed. —Betty
