I'm rather confused by who wants what here. A reasonably full
implementation of arc (arc521) is available in source for **IX systems.
Source code for a zip (unloader) program is around as well (browse
simtel20 or uunet). Are you looking for something beyond these readily
available programs?

I will supply (given a proper request to the uucp address BELOW), arc521
which I know to work on SUN, Vaxen, AT-clones running common flavors of
**IX.
