- Extracting the archives
- -----------------------
- To extract ZIP archives on Atari machines you'll need a copy of ST-ZIP
- which is widely available online or from any PD/Shareware library.
-
- Once you have a copy of ST-ZIP you may prefer to use an alternative GEM
- shell such as Two-in-One (included on the AC#7 Reader Disk) or PacShell.
-
- Equivalent utilities to extract ZIP archives are also available on other
- platforms including:
- - ZipIt on the Mac platform
- - Winzip on the PC platform
-
- Reader disk problems
- --------------------
- In the unlikely event that a Reader disk won't load or gives you any other
- problems, disconnect all peripherals, switch off your computer for at
- least 20 seconds and try again. If this doesn't solve the problem, return
- the disk to Atari Computing clearly labelled "Faulty disk". Your disk will
- be tested and replaced or returned as quickly as possible.
