Wilmington, MA Lines: 23 I cat'ed all the files together and uudecoded them to produce SKY.ARC! But the header of explanation said it was a self-unpacking archive, so I changed the name of the file to SKY.EXE and then executed it on my PC and it unpacked just fine ( I even ran it with no problem ). It is not an archive (it is an EXE) so I am not surprised that trying to unarchive it blew up. Hope this helps.
