A)rchive: The "A" command will create a compressed file CF of the Library
disk selected. It is desirable to compress the disk if you wish download
more than a few files from a CD-ROM disk. Be aware that it may take some time
to create the CF file, especially if the Library disk contains a large
number of files. But, the time saved in downloading 1 compressed file is
considerable compared to downloading 137 files individually from a disk.
If disk 367 was chosen (using the CHANGE option) file the name of the CF
file that is created upon issuing the A)rchive command will depend on the
compression method used. For ZIP the name is "DK0367.ZIP"
TIPS:
1. Only one archive file will remain on the RAM/work disk. This area is purged
clean each time the A)rchive option is used.
2. If the Library disk being archived has sub-directories on it the A)rchive
command will also archive the sub-directories as separate files. All files
archived will be listed to let you know the file names ready for download.
