Hello, I just downloaded the file arclp.exe, how do you run the program? Thanks

You mean "archlp.exe"? Just type the name. Steve

Jason, Put the file ARCHLP.EXE somewhere convenient (ie: move it to a floppy, or put in a drawer in a partition on your hard drive… maybe one setup to hold tutorials and such) then make the path to wherever you have the program the CURRENT DIRECTORY using the CD command from the shell: ex: let's say you put ARCHLP.EXE ram: the path to ARCHLP.EXE would then be RAM: from the shell, enter: CD RAM: then just enter the program name ARCHLP.EXE

Hello again, I tried doing that and I get this message: Unable to load ARCHLP.EXE: file is not an object file. Jason

How did you download ARCHLP.EXE? Which program did you use? Steve

My terminal program is the VT100/TEK4014 (V2.65), and I used KERMIT to download the Program.

Check to see if the file size of ARCHLP.EXE matches what it says in the library. They should be the same. If they're not, then something might be wrong with that program's Kermit. Is there another protocol in your terminal program that you can use to download files?
