Is there a unix arcer compatible with the ST ARC format? While I can't attest to the existance of a(n) Unix arcer (I've heard of one.. just never seen it) you could try the following: In my possession I have two programs for the ST called compress.ttp and tar.ttp. compress acts the same way as compress/uncompress on the pyramid I'm typing this on (Well, at least it can uncompress files I've compressed on the pyramid, haven't tried the other direction yet). I assume tar is simular to unix tar but since I have NO documents on it I can't tell ... If you can get your hands on these two programs just compress and tar the files in unix (and d/l them using Uniterm and kermit) and then unpack/uncompress them and... there you go..... hope this helps.
