That's a 1/3 reduction! :-) But actually, I believe ARCE also accepts wildcards as arguments. My PC is also ethernetted, but it doesn't help me any on the Mac, Atari, and Amiga stuff that comes across that I store in the same directory to test with ARC (on a VAX) before downloading. And I still use PKARC on my PC. -- Dean Brunette {ucbvax,etc.}!hplabs!oliveb!olivej!dragon Olivetti Advanced Technology Center _____ _____ __|__ _____ 20300 Stevens Creek Blvd. | | _____| | | Cupertino, CA 95014 |_____| |_____| |__ rockroc
