- Well, people... I just downloaded compress.arc like everyone suggested. I am
- having problems getting it to run.
-
- The program itself had a .prg extender, so I just run it... it just "hung."
- Then I renamed it to compres.ttp and passed "filename.ext" to it like it said
- in the instructions. It gave back "filename.ext.Z already exists; Not
- overwritten." and just "hung" again. Then I chopped off the extender and
- passed just "filename" and no messages... just hung there. I assume it crashed
- since the file was only 900 bytes, and I could not even get a keyclick... a
- sure sign of a crash.
-
- Then I thought it might be NeoDesk and went back to regular desktop. Same
- thing happened.
-
- Then I chucked the GEM altogether and tried a CLI (PCommand.prg) and typed the
- command "compress filename.ext" and the same thing happened.
-
- Is this an old version? Should I be getting compress LZH or ZOO?
