A)rchive: The "A" command will create an ARCx file of the Library disk
selected. It is desirable to ARCx files from 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 ARCx 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 ARCx
file that is created upon issuing the A)rchive command is "DK0367.ARC.
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.
