How do I archive a file for uploading?
Nancy
Basically, most archivers work by typing something like:
lha a dwarves.lha sneezy.exe dopey.info bashful.txt
That command tells the program "lha" to "a"dd files the archive
"dwarves.lha". The files that will be added are "sneezy.exe",
"dopey.info" and "bashful.txt".
The archiving programs are in library 14.

Worked like a charm…now I am trying to upload, but I am getting the
message ' can't open description file' or something like that!!!

Hmmm… I don't have any idea where you are getting that message. I need
a bit more information to help you figure this out.
First, which terminal program are you using?
Did the upload appear to work, but after it had finished you got that
message? Or did the upload not even start?

The best way is to have something like Directory Opus which pretty much
automates building and extracting from archives. Otherwise, you have to
do what Steve says.
