Betty,
I'm still having trouble getting things to work properly. Here is a
verbatim transcript of my CLI inter-action in trying to follow your
instructions. (As per your instructions, WHAP is in df1, and lharc is in
df0.
1.SYSTEM:> cd df1: 1.WHAP:> lharc -m -x x df0:whp19c unknown command lharc
1.WHAP:> lharc -m -x x df1:whp19c unknown command lharc 1.WHAP:> cd df0:
1.arc:> lharc -m -x x df1:whp19c unable to load lharc: file is not an
object module
As you can see, I've tried every possible combination of commands and
drives, starting with what you said and then trying to figure it out when
it didn't work. I AM GOING CRAZY……..HELLLLLLLLLLLLLP!

Jeff –
I am not Betty… but… the problem you are experiencing is because the
OS cannot find the program LHARC. You need to do one of three things.
1) Copy LHARC into the current directory
2) Add the directory that curently contains LHARC to the command path.
You do this with the command "PATH ADD <dir-spec>" where <dir-spec>
should be replaced with the actual directory name where LHARC is
found.
3) When you invoke LHARC include the path (meaning device:directory)
specification in front of LHARC. For example, suppose LHARC is on
DF1: in the directory UTIL. The syntax would be DF1:UTIL/LHARC …
Hope this helps.

Nelson,
Thanx for your help, I printed it out and will check it out and let
you know what's what.
Thanx again,

Jeff,
Where do you have lharc? The messages tell me that your AMiga is not able
to find the file, so you will have to tell it where LHARC is. You can copy
it to your c: directory, so it will always be available.
Another thing – did you rename LHARC.EXE to LHARC? If not, you will have
to add the .EXE to the end of the name to make it work
lharc.exe -m -x x , etc.
If LHARC is on df1:, then you would have to type:
df1:lharc -m -x x , etc.
If none of these work, please tell me and we'll try some more.
Betty
Betty,
Thanx again. Like I said at the beginning of all this, I'm still
learning my way around computers and will let you know how it works out.
