- To uncompress most archives, you can use the lhunarc utility by
- Jonathan Forbes on Disk 4.
-
- However. some archives may contain directories of only directories
- (i.e., no files) and lhunarc cannot unarchive these unless you
- create the needed directories first. For these archives, use
- the extract (x) option of other archiving tools such as LHARC,
- or use lhunarc after creating the directories that the archive
- requires.
-
- Note: Some archives unarchive into one upper-level directory,
- but others unarchive into loose files and/or directories (in fact
- some archives MUST do this because they should be unarchived onto
- a diskette and then installed). Before unarchiving any archive,
- use your unarchiver's "v" option to view the contents of the
- archive (or check the archive.contents file accompanying the
- archive) to determine whether you should first create a directory
- and CD into it before unarchiving.
-
-
- A note about the examples:
-
- Some of the C language examples ask for pragma files (for example,
- <pragmas/dos_pragmas.h>). If your compiler does not come with
- pragma files, or does not provide a tool for converting FD files
- into pragma files, then just comment out the example lines which
- include the pragmas, and try linking with the latest V39 amiga.lib
- that you have. For all standard system libraries, that should resolve
- the function references. However, for new libraries which have no
- linker libs and do not have stubs in amiga.lib, you must either
- use pragmas or write assembler stubs for the functions.
