Not an actual problem, unless you try to extract this ALF file on
an Atari running Atari DOS 2.0/2.5, or any other DOS that doesn\(aqt
allow underscores in filenames.

+.B \fBALF files don\(aqt normally contain other ALF files, are you trying to extract/list multiple ALF files at once?\fP
+You gave a \fIwildcard\fP argument that ends with \fI\&.alf\fP\&. This is OK if
+your \fIALF\fP file actually contains another \fIALF\fP file, but that would
+be a pathological case. Most likely, you\(aqre trying to extract multiple
+\fIALF\fP files with one command, which doesn\(aqt work. Use one \fBunalf\fP
