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! FeekZoid
