#AMIARC.PROG/HELP
3 messages in this thread
Hello, maybe you can help me? I am trying to figure out how to use the program
AMIARC to unarchive GIF viewers. So far I have had no luck. It tells me in the
description before I downloaded the program to type AMIARC for detailed
instructions, but they are pretty vague for a novice like me. It tells me the
usage format, but does not say where I should enter this command. How do I run
this program, I double clicked on it's icon, but that just gets me the
instructions in an output window. I tried entering the usage in the output
window, but it did nothing. I don't even know if I am correct with the command
itself? Can you help me? I have an Amiga 500 with 1mg chip ram, and 3 mb fast
ram.
Thanks for any help, Scott Ramaly
Scott,
You don't need to unarchive GIF files. They are naturally archived, but any
GIF Viewer can unpack them as they are read in.
As for AMIARC – I don't know that program at all. Nearly everything in our
libraries is packed with LHA from LHA138.RUN in Library 14 of AmigaUser.

The commands should be entered through the cli/shell. Lets say you want to
unpack Gifviewer.arc. You should copy it to ram: and cd to ram:. At that
point, in a shell or cli, you would type the command (and any options you may
wish to use). So it might be something like:
amiarc x Gifviewer.arc
(I am not familair with this particular program, so that might not be the exact
command that is used).
Does this help?
