Windows

I tested this on windows and its works normally(I will test shortly on linux). I also created a compiled version for windows, without needing python to be installed. I will try to contact you through IRC(sakisds, always on freenode) for this.-- Sakisds —Preceding undated comment added 13:37, 5 January 2010 (UTC).

NameError: global name 'f' is not defined

Hi, so I'm having a bit of trouble using this tool on Windows 10 with Python 2.6 or 2.7. When I run it with the -l argument it lists the contents of the archive fine, but when I actually try to extract it throws an error. The Only Zac (talk) 18:12, 18 June 2016 (CEST)

I found a fix for the "NameError: global name 'f' is not defined " error

The error you most likely got:

   Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "ARCTool.py", line 397, in <module>
       main()
   File "ARCTool.py", line 390, in main
       unu8(f, of)
   File "ARCTool.py", line 320, in unu8
       dest.write(f.read(size))
   NameError: global name 'f' is not defined

How you fix this is on line 320, which says "dest.write(f.read(size))", all you need to do is change it to "dest.write(i.read(size))" I guess the dev just made a typo when writing the function.
