I did but I've managed to suss it out now. I didn't specify Getdir or Browse.
Though I was sure I did. Never mind. Yes it works great. Am I right in supposing
this that it handles DMS and ADF in the same way as LHA. I have all the
parameter files installed so is it safe to leave them as is. Will all those
archive types work with the parameter files supplied or am I expected to edit
them. Cos I don't have a clue about how to do that.
