PKARC and PKXARC were actually "stolen" from ARC.  The latter is a copyrighted
program written by System Enhancement Associates.  You can get source code for
$50 (I have it, but obviously can't send it to you).  Send E-mail or post if
you want the address (I don't have it here with me, sorry).

P.S. "Stolen" means that SEA sued the author of PKARC and PKXARC and won an
     out-of-court settlement that resulted in the removal of the PK programs 
     from the market.  He's now written PKZIP, I think, which is supposed to 
     be better and faster (and legal), but I don't have it.
