  I'm new to ftp'ing programs for the ibm, so please forgive me if these
questions seem a bit naive.  
  My problem is that I can not dearchive the files.  I assume that I should
use some form of arc or zoo to de-archive the files, but it doesn't work.
Am I correct in assuming that I should ftp one of the arc or zoo programs
with the .exe extension, download the program using kermit and then do something
like arce filename.arc?  There is one version of arce that I have, that starts
to work; it says uncrunching filename, but then hangs.  All other archive 
programs that I have ftp'd don't even begin to work.  Programs that I have
tried: arc522, gsarc10, pak16, zoo201.
  If someone out there in net land would be so kind as to enlighten my
ignorance, I would be most appreciative.

thanx, mike
