The arc sources were posted to the net.  It was my understanding that
SEA released the sources while retaining the copyright.  I don't
remember ever seeing any effort by SEA to stop the Usenet distribution of
arc.  The version of arc that I (occaisionally) use on our Ultrix (BSD)
VAX was posted to net.sources (or whatever it was called back then).
You could probably find it in the archives on uunet or wherever.  There
were System V versions floating around as well.

I'd be willing send a copy of my BSD flavor of arc to anyone who can't
get to the archives.  (Unless I get swamped with requests, in which case
I may post it again.)

Peace
