Ok! you're trying to decompress a file. Is your Atari system a single floppy only?
If so then I may be able to help.
Most coverdisks are formatted 10 sectors per track and 81 tracks (0-80). and they are pretty full. So trying to unarchive a file from the disk to the same disk will NOT work.
You can format an extended format using Fastcopy, if you so desire, and format it 10 sectors per track and end track 81 (I don't like going above 80). you can then run DC Format and just select the MS-DOS option!
If you have a 1+ machine, you can create a RAM disk and copy/move the compressed program over to it, or decompress to the RAM disk.
You could always buy the cover disk if I have it available. the price 25p each plus postage:)
