MegaArc Public Domain Disks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Compiled by Robert Lang for Megadisc These disks are a series of disks setup by myself after downloading the files from various FTP sites from around the world. This is the source for my TOPIK disks, but since I am very busy at Uni I decided that a quicker way to get the PD to the public was in archived format as I downloaded them. DISCLAIMER : To the best of my knowledge all software provided in this collection is in the Public Domain. If something proves to the contrary, contact me immediately and the offending material will be removed from the collection. The only changes I have made to archives is to convert them to LHA format to maintain some consistency. To get to the nitty-gritty, you're going to need a little knowledge of the shell and archives...but I'll leave that to you or to articles on Megadisc. Basically I have provided LZ in the c drawer of each of these disks to allow you to unarchive the files I have archived. To unarchive a file, you change to the directory where you want to unarchive and enter a command of the form : LZ x MegaArc_1:example.lha Single drive users are going to have trouble, double drive users should be fine, but the hard drive users will find unarchiving a breeze. I have provided a script file to unarchive all files called 'UNDO_ALL' which will unarchive to the path "undo:" which must be assigned by yourself before unarchiving. e.g. to unarchive to the path work:new_files/ : assign undo: work:new_files execute MegaArc_1:undo_all It's as easy as that !!! (I hope) If you have any suggestions, archives, comments etc. you can contact me at : Robert Lang P.O.
