	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.

There are Atari versions of LHArc, Zoo,Zip,ARC, and sever other programs
that are directly compatable with the versions for other systems.  They
should be available from any Atari Archive.
