- Arghhh!
-
- I'v been FTPing a lot these days, and have come across all the archived files
- like ARC, ZOO, LZH, etc and have some problems.
-
- Is it possible to extract files from an archive onto another disk?
- Most of the stuff I try to unarchive tends to be 600000+ bytes in length, and
- therefore obviously wont dearc onto the same disk!
- Is there something special I have to do? Is there a particular dearc that'll
- do the job? Preferably a .PRG file, as I hate .TTPs!
-
- Ah. The other problem! MSA files. I have 2 un-msa-ers:MSA.PRG and shadow.prg.
- What basically happens when I use it, is that at somepoint in the apalling
- process of swapping disks constantly, the drive suddenly starts to make noise
- more louder than I've ever heard, and it'll suddenly cough up an error and
- accuse the msa file of being corrupted or something. I have FTPd loads of MSA
- files and none of them work. It's really annoying as there are a lot of demos
- out there that I really want to get like Overdose, erotica, etc....
-
- I'd be extremely grateful for any help with these vague problems!
