Some of the more recent versions of arc have a compression algorithm
built in called squashing.  This was not supported in early versions.
It also was not supported at all by the ARC products from SEA
Associates.

PkWare Inc. (run by Phil Katz) products have the squashing algorithm (in
fact I think they invented it) built into their product called PKPAK and
PKUNPAK.  It is shareware and should be available on BBSes in your area
as a file called PKPAK361.EXE which is a self extracting archive.
(3.61 was the last version of this product as litigation by SEA forced
Phil Katz to stop selling this product.

He then developed PKZIP and PKUNZIP which are superior products in every
sense.  Look for PKZ092.EXE for the current beta release.  SUPERB STUFF!
