- USAGE
- retrieve [<file_name>] [<archive_name>]
-
- DESCRIPTION
- The retrieve command allows you to extract a file from within a
- specified system archive.
-
- EXAMPLES
-
- retrieve (returns this help file)
-
- retrieve I.Have.A.Dream (returns the file 'I.Have.A.Dream'
- from the default archive)
-
- retrieve ic3220 mods (retrieves the file 'ic3220'
- from the 'mods' archive.)
-
- retrieve v90-023.tcp tcp-v90 (retrieves the file 'v90-023.tcp'
- from the 'tcp-v90' archive.)
-
- NOTE
- When a file is requested, the local cache directory is checked
- first to see if the file has been requested recently, if so it
- is sent from there. If the file is not in the local cache
- directory, an AmigaDOS command (LHA) is issued to de-archive the
- file from the specified archive and place it in the local cache
- directory as well as sending the file out.
-
- If the file requested is larger than the sysop defined maximum
- segment size (default 3000 bytes), then the file is sent back
- as in segments.
-
- Also, this command is unique to AmigaNOS v2.9j +
