user interface while leaving the archive file open. Alternatively, you

to the TNC interface.

explaining the function of this button will be displayed. More 
information on how to use the Xarchiver function is provided under 
Help
.

Please note that the TNC does not carry out any binary-to-
ASCII conversion or vice versa when compressing or 
decompressing NC programs and NC tables. When such 
files are transferred to TNC controls using other software 
versions, the TNC may not be able to read them.
