Hi Ed - first, rename "ar09.bin" to just "ar", and either place it in your CMDS
directory or load it into memory.... AFTER first doing an "attr ar e pe" to
make the ar command executable/loadable.
Once you have Ar in memory, CHD to the disk and directory where you wish the
extracted files to go (make sure enough room there).
Now the file you're about to extract from MUST have the extension ".ar" on its
name. So if you downloaded a file called "test", rename it to "test.ar".
All that's left is to type "ar -x test.ar" and the files inside will be
extracted to your current data dir (which you CHD'd to above). "test" can be
anywhere, so you could for example "chd /d1" and "ar -x /d0/test.ar" to make
the test file on d0 extract to the disk in d1.
Clear as mud? . - kev
