To uncompress most archives, you can use the lhunarc utility by
Jonathan Forbes on Disk 4.

However. some archives may contain directories of only directories
(i.e., no files) and lhunarc cannot unarchive these unless you
create the needed directories first.  For these archives, use
the extract (x) option of other archiving tools such as LHARC,
or use lhunarc after creating the directories that the archive
requires.

Note: Some archives unarchive into one upper-level directory,
but others unarchive into loose files and/or directories (in fact
some archives MUST do this because they should be unarchived onto
a diskette and then installed).  Before unarchiving any archive,
use your unarchiver's "v" option to view the contents of the
archive (or check the archive.contents file accompanying the
archive) to determine whether you should first create a directory
and CD into it before unarchiving.


A note about the examples:

Some of the C language examples ask for pragma files (for example,
<pragmas/dos_pragmas.h>).  If your compiler does not come with
pragma files, or does not provide a tool for converting FD files
into pragma files, then just comment out the example lines which
include the pragmas, and try linking with the latest V39 amiga.lib
that you have.  For all standard system libraries, that should resolve
the function references.  However, for new libraries which have no
linker libs and do not have stubs in amiga.lib, you must either
use pragmas or write assembler stubs for the functions.
