3128.0. "Warp woes...." by CSOA1::CURTIS () Mon Nov 20 1989 16:55

    Can someone reply with a synopsis of how to use warp/unwarp? I have
    the set which has a disclaimer which proclaims - "This is the only
    valid set of warp software". Anyway, I find it rather ambiguous
    in figuring out how to use it. I have the instructions, but when
    do you specify a track begin/end, if I download a .wrp file, is
    it just one file or a copy of the entire disk or what ? It doesn't
    seem to work like ARC or ZOO files, which usually include a readme
    file. I have been trying to download and unwarp the Space Ace demo,
    and I don't see any documentation on how to run it.
    
    Thanks for any replies..................Ray

    To un-Warp a file, you  must have a blank formatted floppy in drive 0.
    You then simply type
    
    > WARP WRITE <FILE.WRP>
    
    and it will automatically  unpack to DF0:.  No need to specify
    starting and ending tracks for the unpacking process.
    
    After un-Warping, you must be sure to eject the floppy and re-insert it
    to let AmigaDOS validate the disk.
