DESCRIPTION
AM is a utility which provides a convenient menu
system for the popular archive program ARC.EXE,
which may be obtained from numerous shareware
sources or directly from:
System Enhancement Associates, Inc.
21 New Street, Wayne NJ 07470
ARC is copyrighted by System Enhancement Associates,
Inc.
AM does not provide access to all of the features
found in ARC. The reasons for not supporting all of
the features in ARC are:
- To keep the AM program simple and easy to use.
- The run from archive feature would require 150K of
memory in addition to the memory required by the
program being executed. I thought that this was
not an efficient method of executing archived
programs.
- Features of ARC which I thought would be seldom
used are not supported by AM.
- If you would like some of these features added to
AM, let me know.

Update operations.
Archive File Name
Enter the path and name of an existing archive

It will be appended to the filename by AM. If
no path is entered, the current directory is
assumed.
List Archive Directory
If a file name has not been entered yet, you will
be prompted to enter the archive file name.
Extract Files
A valid DOS filename or filespec must be supplied
by the user. The desired files will be extracted
from the archive and copied into the dos directory
that is displayed on the status line or the
current directory if no DOS directory is displayed
on the status line.
Add Files
Enter a valid DOS filename or filespec and the
desired files will be added to the archive. If
the archive does not exist, a new archive will
be created.
Update Files
Enter a valid DOS filename or filespec and the
desired files will be updated if the file dates
are later than the matching archived files. If
the archive does not exist, a new archive will
be created.

The specified files will be deleted from the
archive after a valid DOS filespec or filename
is specified.
Shell to DOS
Execute any DOS program and return to AM by
