(try %packer)              And i'm stumbling in translation again. I do know that it's common to call a       file.ZIP or similar an archive. The CP/M tool arc is described as "general       archive and file compression utility". Please note the wording "and" which i       do understand as two different things.              Within the goldref documentation the wording "archive" refers to goldeds file       distribution files. My understanding of archive is a collection of content for       preservation.              For PKT files usually the other use "compression" applies. I'd like to       recommend to follow the areafix command %packer and talk about packed or       unpacked PKTs. The keywords pack and unpack can be found within the fidoconfig       configuration environment of the husky software suite too.              Regards              Kai              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.4.7        * Origin: Monobox (2:240/77)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 129/305 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 229/101 424 426 452 664 700 1016 1017 240/77 2100 5138 5411       SEEN-BY: 240/5824 5832 5853 6309 249/206 317 400 280/464 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 292/854 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200 633/280 2432/390       SEEN-BY: 2452/250 2454/119       PATH: 240/77 5832 229/426           |
