=========[ ArcDoor Help ]=====================================
This program is very easy to use. Here's a brief description of
the command options:
[F]...Choose an ARChive filename.
Choosing an archive is the first thing to do. All subsequent
operations will be performed on the archive you have specified
until you choose another one using the [F] option again.
When you enter an archive filename, leave out the .ARC extension
-- the program supplies it for you automatically. So, to choose
EXAMPLE.ARC, you just type EXAMPLE (upper or lower case -- it
doesn't matter).
[L]...List files in ******.ARC
Once you have chosen an archive, a new menu appears. On this
menu, the [L] option will give you a verbose listing of the
files in the archive, just like the -V option of the ARC program
itself. You'll see the names of all the files in the archive,
their sizes and dates, and other information.
[D]...Display a file from ******.ARC
If you wish to read one of the files in an archive that you have
listed, the [D] option allows you to do so. You'll be asked for
the name of the file you wish to read, and then it will be
displayed to you one page at a time. If you wish, at the bottom
of any page you can tell the program to do a non-stop listing by
choosing the [S]croll option, which can then be aborted at any
time with Control-K.
The program will not allow you to display binary files, such as
EXE or COM files.
[H]...Help with using ArcDoor.
Brings up the help file that you are reading right now.
[X]...Expert mode toggle. (menus/no menus)
Turns the menus off and on again. Once you have learned the
commands, this will speed things up a bit.
[Q]...Return to PCBoard main menu.
When you are all finished, choose [Q] to return to the PCBoard
program itself. It takes a few seconds for PCBoard to reload,
so be patient. You'll be asked for your logon password for
PCBoard. After you supply your password, you'll be back to the
PCBoard command prompts.
