YOU MUST DO IT IN ONE OF THREE WAYS:
        1. ÕSING A ÃOMMODORE ÔERM ÐROGRAM; Ä/Ì THE ÃÐ/Í PROGRAM
           TO A 'NATIVE' (ÃÂÍ) DISK, THEN USING THE VARIOUS
           UTILITIES, COPY TO A ÃÐ/Í DISK AFTER CONVERSION.
        2. ÕSE ÉÍÐ OR ÍÅØ IN ÃÐ/Í MODE, Ä/Ì THE ÃÐ/Í FILES TO A
           ÃÐ/Í FORMATTED DISK.  ÔHIS METHOD WILL NOT WORK IN
           'NATIVE' (ÃÂÍ) MODE OR FOR NATIVE FILES.
        3. ÕSE ONE OF THE BEST TERM PROGRAMS FOR US Ã-128 USERS,
           ÂOB'S ÔERM ÐRO 128, WHICH WILL Ä/Ì EITHER NATIVE FILES
           TO NATIVE FORMATTED DISKS, ÃÐ/Í FILES TO ÃÐ/Í DISKS,
           OR ANY COMBINATION YOU WANT.
ÏF COURSE, YOU MUST HAVE ALREADY FORMATTED SOME BLANK DISKS USING
THE ÆÏÒÍÁÔ.ÃÏÍ ON YOUR ÓÙÓÔÅÍÓ ÄÉÓË.

ÌETS SAY YOU WANT TO Ä/Ì A FILE FROM THE ÃÐ/Í ÌIBRARY 34, AH, LETS
PICK FILE # 6367, CALLED 'ÐÉÐÍÁÇ1.ÁÒË'.  ÕSING ÉÍÐ, OR ÍÅØ, THE
ÃÐ/Í ÔERM PROGRAM, DOWNLOAD IT TO A ÃÐ/Í FORMATTED DISK.  ÙOU
MUST NOW DE-COMPRESS THE ÁÒËED FILE (NOTE THE .ÁÒË TAIL) BY
USING 'ÕÎÁÒÃ.ÃÏÍ' FILE #5997.  ÕÎÁÒÃ.ÃÏÍ IS AN UNCOMPRESSED FILE
THAT YOU WILL WANT TO DOWNLOAD AND SAVE ON A SEPERATE DISK CALLED
ÄECOMPRESSION ÕTILITIES, OR WHATEVER. ÔHIS FILE IS READY FOR USE.
 ÁFTER TYPING IN THE COMMAND:
                     ÕÎÁÒÃ Á:ÐÉÐÍÁÇ1 Á: 
THE FILE WILL BE DECOMPRESSED, READY FOR USE.
ÙOU CAN THEN DELETE THE ORIGINAL ÐÉÐÍÁÇ1.ÁÒË FILE, AS IT IS NO
LONGER NEEDED.  ×E HAVE BEEN USING ÁÒËED FILES IN ÌIBRARY 34 AS IT
IS USUALLY THE EASIEST WAY TO QUICKLY DECOMPRESS  FILES.
ÏTHER FILE 'TAILS' ARE:
         ÁÂÃÄÅÆ.ÃÏÍ   ÎO DECOMPRESSION NEEDED, Ä/Ì AND USE DIRECTLY
         ÁÂÃÄÅÆ.ÁÒË   Ä/Ì AND DECOMPRESS USING ÕÎÁÒÃ.ÃÏÍ FILE # 5997

         ÁÂÃÄÅÆ.ÌÂÒ   Ä/Ì AND DECOMPRESS USING ÄÅÌÂÒ11.ÃÏÍ FILE#209
                      WILL ALSO RESULT IN FURTHER DECOMPRESSION.
         ÁÂÃÄÅÆ.?Ñ?   Ä/Ì AND DECOMPRESS WITH ÕÓÑ120.ÃÏÍ FILE# 5996
         ÁÂÃÄÅÆ.?Ú?   Ä/Ì AND DECOMPRESS WITH ÕÎÃÒ24.ÃÏÍ FILE# 5998

  ÔHE .ÌÂÒ FILES SOMETIMES NEED TO BE FIRST DE-LBRED, THEN UNSQUEEZED
  OR UNCRUNCHED USING THE ABOVE UTILITIES.  ÔHE KEY IS THE FILE TAIL!
  ÉF YOU SEE A FILE NAME LIKE 'ÁÂÃÄÅÆ.ÃÚÍ' THEN USE ÕÎÃÒ24.ÃÏÍ, ETC.

ÈELP FILES:  ÔHERE ARE MANY HELP FILES AVAILABLE IN ÌIBRARY 34 THAT
ARE Ã-128 SPECIFIC.  ÔHE BEST DESCRIPTION OF DECOMPRESSION THAT É'VE
SEEN IS IN THE ÐÉÐÍÁÇ1 FILE, MENTIONED ABOVE.  É WOULD STRONGLY SUGGEST
THAT YOU ALSO Ä/Ì THE FOLLOWING FILES:
       ÓÔÁÒÔÕÐ.ÄÏÃ  #5126  JUST Ä/Ì ANF READ WITH ×*, ÖÄÅ, OR ÔÙÐÅ
