Okay. Firstly, you'll need the following files: LHARC.ZOO, ZOO201.ARC, and ARC.EXE. All three are in AmigaTech, LIB 4. Once you have them, (and assuming that you called ARC.EXE just plain "ARC" when you downloaded it…), you get the ZOO program with the following command: ARC X ZOO201.ARC Then, once you have ZOO, you can get LHARC with the following command: zoo x// lharc.zoo I also recommend that you get the program ARCHLP.EXE from LIB 4 of AmigaTech which describes all the archival programs used here. And I also recommend you study the chapter on the CLI in your Users Guide and at least become familiar with some of the basic commands, since many of the things here are run from the CLI. –>Steve Bennett

Dan, For starters, go over to AmigaTech DL 4 and download the file ARCHLP.EXE. This is an executable file that will probably answer all your questions. (It's a lot easier than trying to cover all the sordid details here in the message base. 😉 After you've looked at ARCHLP and you still have questions or if you have trouble getting ARCHLP, ask again and I'll try to walk you through the process. If you see anybody in the CO rooms either here or in AmigaTech, stop in and ask. Many times I've been able to talk people through the process, using the multi-tasking capabilities of the Amiga to help get the job done while online. Hope this helps. 8) David
