I tried responding via email, but my friendly neighborhood Internet host said: 550 ralph@prosun.first.gmd.de... Host unknown Anyway, ARC and UNARC place extracted files into the *current* directory. If you are running from the GEM Desktop, it's likely that you have made unarc's or arc's directory the current directory by topping its window. Try topping the window where you want the objects to be placed, then hold down the SHIFT key and double-click on arc.ttp or unarc.ttp in a background window. That will instruct GEM to run the program without switching to its directory. You won't have this problem if you run your archiver from a command-line shell or special GEM shell. ---- Steve Yelvington, Marine on St. Croix, Minnesota, USA / steve@thelake.mn.org
