Betty, I have goten CRC errors on Lharc and LharcA. The files I tryed to unpack are C2L.lzh, Gifvie.lzh, CID.lzh, Mdonna.lha, and 2-D-An.lzh. the files are from the following libs. archives, animanition, and communications. All the other files I have downloaded are of commpresstion type lh5 witch I am unable to deal with, because I have type lh1 only. James.

James, First of all, get LHA138.RUN from the Archivers library. It can unpack all of the files you named. Once you have LHA138.RUN, put it on a floppy drive in df0:, and then type: CD DF0: lha138.run After the activity has stopped, type: DIR You will see a list of the files. One will be LHA, and one will be a doc file, but I don't know its exact name. Copy LHA to your c: directory by typing: copy LHA c: Once you are using this latest version of LHA, you can unpack the others by following this pattern: CD DF0: lha x C2L.LZH (or whatever the other filenames.) However, this will put all of your new files into one big directory. It's better to keep each one in its own directory. So – let's say that you have the files on a disk. Put the disk into DF0: and type: MakeDir df0:C2L CD DF0:C2L lha x df0:C2L.LZH (Be sure you have kept the .LZH or .LHA extensions on your packed files. They have to be there.) I'm suggesting that you do this on the floppy drive because you said you have 1M of memory, and I was not sure there is enough to do it in RAM: – which is faster, but requires a good bit of memory. When you download – see if your program has B or B+ protocols. If so, use them. They are much better for use on CompuServe than any others. —Betty
