Hi, ARJ is a file compression program (it used to be the most well-known archiver in ol' good days...). To unpack it, just go get the unarj program from http://www.arjsoftware.com. bye!

[Freedos-user] can freedos access a floppy disk image
I can make a diskimage of a floppy disk in linux with dd Can freedos mount this disk image and use it rather than the floppy disk in question? If so, how do you mount the disk image? ~~~ Bonnie Dalzell, MA mail:5100 Hydes Rd PO Box 60, Hydes,MD,USA 21082-0060|EMAIL:[EMAIL PROTECTED] freelance anatomist, vertebrate paleontologist, writer, illustrator, dog breeder, computer nerd iconoclast...

Re: [Freedos-user] can freedos access a floppy disk image
Hi Bonnie :-) I can make a diskimage of a floppy disk in linux with dd Can freedos mount this disk image and use it rather than the floppy disk in question? If so, how do you mount the disk image? Try using the shsurdrv ramdisk and related tools. To boot from a diskimage, try grub4dos or syslinux' memdisk :-). Most shsu tools should be on the homepage of Jason Hood. I think there was a shsu tool to MOUNT your diskimage as file, but if you have RAM free, it is better to use the shsurdrv which can LOAD the diskimage during driver load.
