	There are several atari sites that are still good. The ftp.umich.atari 
(? I am not sure if  this is the right adress??) site has a file called
starter.tos at the end of its directory, that has a bunch of simple archivers,
of several styles. Get it with FTP, copy it to a dos 720K disk, and load 
it into his ST. It'll read OK. Then run it, and it is a self-extracting a
rchive itself. That'll get him started, till he get more full featured 
archivers.
