3540.0. "Problems with ARC023.BIN" by BEEBLE::PATEL () Fri Mar 02 1990 11:56

I need some help with running ARC023.BIN. I have copied this file via KERMIT, via
XMODEM and even using PcCopy. But everytime I try and execute, I get "file is not
an object module".

Anybody go any suggestions, ideas ?

Thanks.

3540.1Get a "starter disk"CLO::COBURNWhen will THEN be NOW? ...SOON!Sun Mar 04 1990 01:2814
    The file as stored on the VAX (and presumably transfered via PCSA) may
    have a format that is not compatible with the Amiga. Also the transfer
    via PCSA may muck it up.
    
    Also, older XMODEM implementations would pad the last block on the
    download. Use a program FIXOBJ (sp?) to truncate it. 
    
    The best solution is to get a copy of the executable already on an
    Amiga disk and use it. 
    
    Ed Acciardi used to offer a starter disk that would have everything
    that you need to get started downloading.
    
    
3540.2What's the latest ARC ?WBC::BAKERWhatever happened to Fay Wray...Wed Apr 24 1991 14:0411
	I'm trying to unpack some archived files that were
	created on a PC using some version of ARC.  When I
	run them through AmigaArc 2.3, I get a message saying
	that it can't handle the archive, and that I need a
	newer version of Arc.

	Is there a version of Amiga Arc later than 2.3 ?  If
	so, where can I find it ?

	Thanks,
	 Art
