Comp. Sci. Lines: 12 Most of the files that I tried downloading from ftp sites for my PC have the extension .ARC What am I supposed to do with these files? Are they archive files? Also, I downloaded some .EXE files and when I attempted to execute them, DOS aborted by "Program too big to fit in memory". The last question is, how do you get these .ARC files. I would appreciate any comments on these questions. Thanks in advance, Tasos Internet: tasos@cs.bu.edu
