- Help! I am trying to use a file that has the extension .run. I had
- assumed that this was a self-extracting archive since it has been a long
- long time since I have actually played with an Amiga. I have to
- archiving utils that I can't use be I can't get them unarchived and that
- also keeps me from using most other software since most everything else
- I have gotten that is worth anything is compressed by programs such as
- dms and lha not lzh. I have been transferring these files by way of my
- PC since I don't have any software to get on the net on my Amiga since I
- can't get anything uncompressed. Would I possibly losing something in
- the translation? Any help would be appreciated. Also if anyone could
- tell where I could find some docs in text format listing various common
- Amiga files types and what to do with them I would appreciate it. I have
- looking all over Aminet but can't find anything. If you could e-mail I
- would really appreciate it.
-
- Thanks
