╘HIS ARC HELP FILE IS FOR THOSE OF US THAT DO NOT LIKE TO HAVE TO STUDY ╠┴╥╟┼ PROGRAM DOCUMENTATION.
┼D ╨ARRY - ╓AN ╬UYS, ├┴ - ╒PDATE :861123
╨RELIMINARY NOTES:
1) ─ISABLE FASTLOAD. ┴╥├ DOESN'T WORK W/THE FASTLOAD CARTRIDGE.
2) ═ACH 5 AND ┴╥├ SEEM TO WORK FINE.
3) ╔ HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS ╓╧╥╨┴╠ING ARC.
4) ═╧╙╘ OF US USE ┴╥├ MAINLY TO CREATE/DISSOLVE ┴╥├HIVED FILES.
5) ╫HEN NO DRIVE DESIGNATOR IS GIVEN, ┴╥├ USES CURRENT DEFAULT DRIVE.
┴╥├ DISK DRIVE DESIGNATION CHARACTERS:
┴╥├ ─┼╓ ─╥╓ ┴╥├ ─┼╓ ─╥╓ ┴╥├ ─┼╓ ─╥╓ ┴╥├ ─┼╓ ─╥╓

┼XTRACTING (DISSOLVING) ARC FILES:
ARC/X A:FILENAME
┼XTRACTS ALL FILES FROM THE ┴╥├ FILE CALLED "FILENAME" ON DRIVE A: (DEVICE 8/DRIVE 0 (LIKE A 1541/1571 WOULD BE.)
├REATING ┴╥├HIVE FILES:
ARC/C A:ARCNAME A:*
╘HIS CREATES AN ┴╥├HIVE FILE ON DRIVE A: AND PUTS THEM INTO A FILE NAMED "ARCNAME" ON DRIVE A:. ╘HIS IS THE WAY "╔" SUGGEST YOU ARCHIVE: ╨UT ALL FILES YOU WW
ANT TO ┴╥├HIVE ┴╠╧╬┼ ON A DISK AND THEN ┴╥├HIVE THEM ALL BY USING THE PATTERN MATCH AS EXAMPLED ABOVE BY THE END-OF-LINE "A:*". ╘HIS IS ═╒├╚ EASIER THAN TRYY
ING TO TYPE ALL THE FILE NAMES YOU WISH ARCHIVED.
╔ HAVE NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES ┴╥├ WILL TRY TO READ THE ACTUAL ┴╥├ FILE IT HAS CREATED AND END WITH A "WRITE FILE OPEN" ERROR. ╘HIS DOES NOT EFFECT THE ARCHII
VE IN ANY WAY SO DO NOT DESPAIR.
┴╥├ ALSO HAS A BUILT IN WEDGE. ╙TANDARD ─╧╙ WEDGE COMMANDS CAN BE SENT. ╚ERE'S A FEW EXAMPLES:
>$* ;DISK DIRECTORY (TYPING "DIR" WORKS ALSO.)
>$$ ;FREE BLOCKS
>*=P ;DISPLAYS ALL ╨╥╟ FILES.
>$A* ;DISPLAYS ALL FILES STARTING WITH THE LETTER "A"
>S0:F1 ;SCRATCHS FILE NAMED "F1"
>I0 ;INITIALIZE DISK (READS BAM/DIR INTO DRIVE MEMORY).
>N0:DISKNAME,01 ;FORMATS DISK W/ID OF "01".
╔ SUGGEST YOU REFER TO YOUR DRIVE MANUAL FOR MORE HELP ON DISK COMMANDS.
┴╥├ DATE SETTING:
╫HEN CREATING AN ┴╥├HIVE IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO SET THE DATE SO YOU (AND OTHER USERS) WILL KNOW THE DATE THE FILE WAS ACTUALLY ARCHIVED. ╚ERE'S AN EXAMPLE:
DATE 15,11,1986 ;THIS SETS THE ┴╥├HIVE DATE TO 15NOV1986
DATE ;DISPLAYS THE CURRENT DATE OF ┴╥├.
╚ARDCOPYING THOSE "DOC XXX.ARC" DOC'S:
1ST YOU MUST SET YOUR PRINTER DEVICE NUMBER AND SECONDARY ADDRESS BY ╨╧╦┼ING VALUES INTO ARC IN ONE OF TWO POSSIBLE WAYS:
1) LOAD ARC. DO ╬╧╘ RUN. ╘HEN:
POKE2051,(PRINTER DEVICE #/DEFAULTS TO 4)
POKE2052,(SECONDARY ADDRESS/DEFAULTS TO 4/╔ SUGGEST ├┬═ PRINTERS USE 7)
2) LOAD/RUN ┴╥├. ╘HEN:
POKE13*4096-1,(PRINTER DEVICE)
POKE13*4096-2,(SECONDARY ADDRESS)AND96
╔F YOU USE METHOD ONE YOU CAN RESAVE ┴╥├ SO YOUR VALUES WILL BE THE DEFAULT WHENEVER YOU LOAD YOUR VERSION OF ┴╥├.
╬OW TO PRINT THE DOC'S WITHOUT HAVING TO EXTRACT THE FILE (409 BLOCKS!):
ARC/PP/P ;PRINTS DOC'S FOR PETASCII PRINTERS.
ARC/PA/P ;PRINTS DOC'S FOR ASCII PRINTERS.
╧THER MISC ┴╥├ COMMANDS:
ARC/L ARCFILE ;LISTS FILES/INFO THAT ARE IN AN ┴╥├HIVED FILE.
ARC/P FILENAME ;TYPES CONTENTS OF "FILENAME" TO SCREEN W/OUT EXTRACTING.
ARC/E F1 F2 ;EXTRACTS ╧╬╠┘ THE "F2" FILE FROM THE ARCHIVE FILE "F1".
LOAD "C:FILENAME ;LOADS "FILENAME" FROM DRIVE 9/0.
A:PROGRAM ;LOAD/RUN "PROGRAM" FROM DRIVE 8/0.
TYPE FILENAME ;TYPES "FILENAME" CONTENTS TO SCREEN.
A:ARC AID* ;BOOTS AN "ARC MENU" THAT ALLOWS EASIER USE OF ┴╥├.
┴RC ALSO HAS A BUILT IN TEXT EDITOR BUT ╔ PERSONALLY HAVE NOT USED IT AS YET. ╔F INTERESTED IN THIS AND OTHER FEATURES OF ARC, ╔ SUGGEST YOU CONSULT THE OFFF
ICIAL DOCUMENTATION. ╞OR THE LATEST ┴╥├ VERSION, CURRENT DOCUMENTATION AND ┴╥├ OWNERSHIP REGISTRATION ╔ SUGGEST YOU SEND $20 TO THE AUTHOR, ├HRIS ╙MEETS AT::
