Counsulatant) Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga,comp.sys.amiga.tech Subject: AmiEXPO USENET Archive ERROR Keywords: AmiEXPO get-together USENET Archives error Message-ID: <333@richp1.UUCP> Date: 25 Jul 88 16:49:43 GMT Reply-To: kjohn@richp1.UUCP (John Scott Kjellman (consultant)) Organization: Rich Inc., Franklin Park, IL Lines: 53 THERE IS A SMALL PROBLEM WITH THE ARCHIVE DISKS AS DISTRIBUTED AT THE EXPO. Due to an oversite on my part (bad KJohn :-) the programs required to extract the archive files are on all of the archive disks. To correct this try the following on a BACKUP COPY OF YOUR ARCHIVE DISKS: 1) To UNCOMPRESS the archives, use the UNCOMPRESS program found in volume 1 of the Sources in the UTILS directory. 2) UNCOMPRESS UNSHAR.C.Z found on Source volume 1 and compile it. 3) UNCOMPRESS UUTWINS.SRC.SH.Z found on SOURCE volume 2. 4) UNSHAR the UUTWINS.SRC.SH file. 5) Compile UUDECODE.C. 6) Now you should have the following programs: a) UNCOMPRESS b) UNSHAR c) UUDECODE These are the same as their UNIX counterparts. Use them to uncompress, unshar, and uudecode (where applicable) the other Archive disks. Sorry if this has caused anyone any problems. If you know someone who got a copy of the archives, please pass this info onto them. If you cannot do any of the above (due to a lack of a compiler or whatever) call me and we'll work something out......
