#downloading to amiga
2 messages in this thread
Howdy! I'm brand new to this service and I have a couple of questions for
anyone who could possibly help me. How do you download a program from
libraries with ONLINE!, and how do you de-ARC after you've downloaded?
Hi Tim, welcome to the Amiga Forums. I don't have OnLine! but you go into a
LIBrary and select the file you want to download, type D at the Disposition!
prompt, have a protocol selected in OnLine (for eg. XModem), tell your term pgm
the name of the file you want to download and where you're downloading to – and
initiate the transfer – CIS will tell you when it is completed.
To deARC a file you need to download ARC.EXE from LIB 4 of AmigaTech and the
documentation ARC.HLP from LIB 1 of AmigaTech. You rename ARC.EXE to ARC, put
it in your c directory on Workbench, then to deARC CD to the disk and/or
directory where the downloaded ARCed file resides and type ARC X filename.
Let me know if this helps. Also there are help files in LIB 1 of all 3 Amiga
Forums which are readable online or can be downloaded and read offline. There
are 6 of them named HELP#.DOC (where # = 1 thru 6).
