If you've downloaded the program LHARC.EXE from library 5, you can type the command: copy LHARC.EXE DF0:c/LHARC and that will copy the LHARC program to your command directory. You can use it just like any other archiving program. If you're unfamiliar with how to use LHARC (or ARC, ZOO, and WARP), you might want to download ARCHLP.EXE. It's a tutorial program on how to use all those utilities. Steve

James, If you have LHARC in your c: directory of your Workbench, it becomes another command you can use as easily as you use RUN or DIR, so I always recommend that people put it there. The file you want is in Library 5 of AmigaUser, and it is named LHARC.EXE. It is possible to download that particular file straight to the c: directory where you want it. When CIS asks for the "Name for your computer", say DF0:C/LHARC And it will go straight into the c: directory on the Workbench you have in df0: You don't RUN LHARC, you use it to unpack programs whose names end with LZH. Suppose you have LHARC in your c: directory, and you have a file you downloaded called ABC.LZH on a disk in drive 1. You would do this: MAKEDIR DF1:ABC CD DF1:ABC LHARC -m -x x DF1:ABC.LZH COPY DF0:EMPTY.INFO DF1:ABC.INFO The first line makes a directory for your new files to live in. The second line makes that the current directory, because LHARC is going to put things in the current directory, wherever it might be. The third line tells LHARC to unpack the archive, with the -m telling it to make new directories if they are needed, the -x says to keep the directory structure, and the x says to unpack the file. The fourth line makes a drawer icon for your new program. If you have more questions, please feel free to ask. Betty
