Set your way-back machine to before we had self-extracting archives.  I
was able to extract the component files from a '.ARC' file using a
UNIX-based program I snarfed out of '*.sources.*'.  However, now
these things are coming across as '*.EXE', and must be decompressed on
my IBM-PC - in my case most decompressions take longer than file
transfer.

Anyone have a new tool or upgrade for the Unix-based program?
