- <Hi Robin/everyone,
-
- <The only way I could transfer the shareware WAD file was to install the shareware Doom
- <onto a PC and then use the PC ARJ.EXE program to compress the file over 2 disks.
-
- <It compressed to around 1.7Mb and was two files on the two disks.
-
- <Then using the EXCELLENT programs in the Atari UNARJ.996 package to uncompress the files to my
- <hard disk.
-
- <As far as I know ARJ is the only format that can have a file split accross multiple disks.
- <ST ZIP does not support this feature !!!!
-
- Yepp I noticed yesterday to my griefe that st zip was to dump to
- unpack a splitted zip file. So now I am sitting at my office and
- transfer the file via null modem and the not to fast program
- ghostlink. This is only recomended if you do not know any other
- options. Anyway thanks for the tip on arj, I will defently use it
- next time...
