Can anyone help a beginner in the ATARI world?
Do any of these applications/games files that I see banded around
this conference (note-9) work for a 520STE?
I copied a few 'arc' files and after realizing that I needed to
un-arc them, didn't have much luck. I have seen files 'advertised'
to do this, for example PKUNARC and LHARC but couldn't find them
so I went for one called VMSSWEEP(?) which didn't work too well
for me.
Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated. This is a christmas
present for my son and although I havn't actually got around to
wrapping it up yet (if ever) I would like to get as much to work
on it as possible.

What exactly is the problem you are having? I couldn't tell if you can't unarc files or if the files won't run when you do unarc them. In either case, if you have not read Jeff Lomicka's introduction on file transfers, I suggest you read it. Then if you still have problems give us a little more detail on what is or is not happening (error messges etc...) The file can be found in - prnsys::dua2:[lomickaj.hobby.st]xferintro.txt Ray | |||||

Thanks for your help (and offer of more help).
I have (now) read the document in question and copied two files:
arc.exe and zoo.exe and when I 'run' these files I get a nice
little message on what I assume to be either parameters or qualifiers
but when I try to add some of these, for example "e" for extract,
I get error messages like 'ambiguous (or unrecognized) qualifier' or
'too many paramters'.
So I'd like to know how to use these 'unarchive' tools.
[Sorry about confusion in '.0' you answered one of my questions which
was 'will these files work on a 520', the other point I was trying to
make is the current one of unarchiving.]
Thanks

Having realized that I had more to read that I first thought (my print
was party hidden by something known as a 'real job') I found the
correct instructions on how to use these tools.
And ... it seems to be working for me!
Good reading, eh?
Thanks again.
