IT'S BEEN DESIGNED TO BE COMPATIBLE WITH LYNX17 BY WILL CORLEY ON THE C64
THIS IS A NON COMPRESSING ARCHIVING SYSTEM
IT WORKS BY MAKING A COPY OF ALL THE FILES WANTED INTO A SINGLE FILE
SO THE TARGET DRIVE MUST HAVE A DISK WITH ENOUGH ROOM ON IT FOR IT
TO WORK ON - OTHER THAN THAT THERE'S NOT MUCH MORE TO SAY EXCEPT
LYNX8017 - CREATED FEB 2000
thanks to tom ramm for being a beta tester _ version B as a result !
