I have the archive utility and when using the "arc x <filename>" it extracts the files. But on others I get a message "Cannot read <filename>.arc" what does that mean ? and what should I do ? Can you please help. Thank you.

Richard, The file you are deARCing must be named with a .ARC extension, and must either reside in the current directory or have the complete path name specified.

Richard, The archive needs the extension .ARC (so it should be named <filename.arc>) and if it's not in your current directory, you need to path it. Example: arc x df1:downloads/goodgame That would extract files from an archive named goodgame.arc that is presently located in drive df1: in a directory on that drive called downloads. The files would be written to your current directory. Don
