#downloading/un-archiving
6 messages in this thread
Hi there. I haven't been on for a while, but i'm back and i need some
advice. I'm having trouble finding an un-archiving program to download to
open some of the programs iv'e already downloaded. I'm new to all this and
am not sure what i need (besides to start CAPATILIZING my solitary i's.)
Oh, I was also told I need some kind of "viewing" program to see some
pictures iv'e downloaded? As the little fly said…"help me, help meeee…
(please) Thanx.

Jeff:
You'll find de-archivers in Lib 5 of Amiga User. ARC.EXE is for files
that end in .ARC, ZOO.EXE is for files that end in .ZOO, and LHARC.EXE for
files that end in .LZH. There are some ZIP files beginning to show up
occasionally, but I've not dealt with any personally, yet. IFF viewers can
be found here in Amiga Arts Lib, under Graphics Utilities, or some similar
sounding title, I can't remember which Lib number, but there are several
available. Browse on keywords SHOW, IFF and HAM, and you should see a
selection. Oh yes, there is a useful program in Amiga User Lib 5 called
ARCHLP.EXE which will tell you quite a bit about archivers and how to use
them.

Clint,
Thanx, you gave me just what the doctor ordered. I'm sure It'll be
fine.

Glad I could be of help.

Jeff,
Look in AmigaUser forum, Library 5, for:
LHARC.EXE to unpack the .LZH files
ZOO.EXE to unpack the .ZOO files
PKAZIP.??? to unpack the .ZIP files
ARCHLP.EXE to teach you how to use most of these (an interactive tutorial)
There are lots of good viewers for pictures in Library 14 of AmigaArts. My
own favorites are SuperView and Mostra
SV3.ZOO/B 14K 25-Sep-89 SuperView 3.0 — now handles animations
MOSTRA.LZH/B 30K 21-Jul-90 IFF viewer – supports ALL formats – update
Let us know whenever we can be of help.

Betty,
Thank you very much. I won't hesitate to utilize your friendship and
help in the future. Like I said, I'm new at this, so, thanx again.
