Using the ARCHandler Once the ARCHandler is started, you should be able to use it as any-other AmigaDOS-device. The root-directory of the device contains all the volumes that AmigaDOS knows of (it even contains the ARC-volume, you can use this to access an archive in an archive). Just enter one of those volumes and you'll see all the files and directories that are on that volume. You're able to use any of these files the same way as on the normal volume, read a text, execute a program (only read operations are supported in this version). When you come across an lha-archive you'll notice that the handler tells you that it is a directory. When you enter the archive you'll see all the files and directories that reside in the archive. These files can be used as normal files, you can read texts or execute the programs. Currently the handler doesn't support writing to files in an archive.
