Maybe you should change the filetype association for ARJ to associate it permamanetly with WinRar?

Heh, just kiddin'. I dunno what was wrong with WinRAR about not recognising it at first, but problem's all solved.

Thanks for all the help guys! Heheh, im glad I could give you guys some nostalja there by mentioning the .arj files. It worked. WinRAR didn't recognise it when I tried to run it just from the arj file, so when i saw you mentioned WinRAR, I decided to go in and open them manually. It worked

wasn't it arj -e filename.arj?

if i remeber it correctly from my "old days" when i used to use it, the -x extracts the files with full path, which means that if there are compressed files inside folders, those folders will be created and the files extracted inside them. if you use the -e, it will extract all files to the same folder. you can try both ways and see what happens

ARJ software

after you download and install it, you will have to use a command (in a DOS window :whistle: ) like this:

c:\arj\arj.exe x c:\games\firefight.arj /v

c:\arj and c:\games\ represent the folders where the arj and the game are supposed to be located. the /v switch will allow you to prossess multiple files (a01, etc.) and when it jumps from the arj file to the following, it will prompt you if you want to proceed; if you type "y", it will prompt you the same everytime it jumps to the next volume, but if you type "a" it will process all volumes from there.

i hope this helps you

Used it on my 486 also..
Either WinRAR or PowerArchiver should solve those problems.
