FeekZoid asked about unARChiving on floppy disks, and using MSA..
 
Charles F. Johnson of CodeHead Technologies has written an
excellent GEM based "shell" for the popular archiver programs,
called appropriately enough, ARCSHELL.  It's ShareWare, and
should be available at atari.archive.
 
It will allow you to select the input drive and output drives,
which can be different drives.
 
If you have enough memory, a good solution to unMSA'ing files
is to create a RAMdisk big enough to hold the source file, and
unMSA directly to a floppy disk.  That will eliminate the
disk swapping.
