There is a bug in ARC V5.21 when extracting files.
If you specify a file of *.* to be extracted (note this happens
automaticly when you use arcshell and leave the filename blank)
only files with an extension will be extraced. For example README
will not be extracted but README.1ST will.
I just did an exctract *.* on four floppies (DS) worth of files
and then deleted the .ARC files, only then did I notice the problem.
It's hard to tell how many and what files I lost.

Hi Ray,
I noticed that recently too. But I don't think, that this is
a bug. If you say * instead of *.*, you'll get what you'd expected.
Saying * for all files is the UNIX notation/syntax, I think.

| 276.2 | Where are those new ARCs? | IJSAPL::KLERK | Theo de Klerk | Sun Jan 08 1989 08:28 | 12 |
Could someone tell me if and where this more recent ARC version can be obtained (or did I miss it in the Usenet mailings?)? I found out that the PD ST-TeX system uploaded by James "kibo" Parrer (see TeXHaX 89-1) contained one arc file (DVIEPS) that refused processing the the ARC utililty - both the Atari version that I've got and the VAX/VMS version (after using CVTARC U to get the ARC in VMS reable format). If others are interested: see PSQ:[PUBLIC.SOURCES.ATARI.TEX] for all ARCs that can be copied straight to the Atari. Some documentation included inside the ARCs. Theo | |||||
