There are more ways to compress a whole disk !

One is darc.ttp which invokes arc.ttp for each subdirectory rekursively.

Another one is FOLDER.PRG (also called AR.PRG).
It compresses a whole path including all subdirectories !

As far as I can remember by heart it is written by somebody at the Tech. Univ.
of Berlin...
It's seems not to be known widely, although I saw it quite often in BBSs here
in Berlin.

If some Bitnet-User sends me his mail-address I'll send a copy of it, so you
can get your own impression of it. I'm not mailing it outside the bitnet,
because that would mean to spend a lot of money (0.60 DM/KB via Pyramid or
1.10 DM/KB via unido !) I do not have.

Please reply using the bitnet (ripley%netmbx.uucp@db0tui6.bitnet), I have to
pay incoming data as well !
