If you have access to a PC, you could un-ARC, un-ZOO, un-WHATEVER all your
files on your PC and then copy them to a floppy disk and get them to your
ST via sneaker-net.  The un-ARCers from the IBM world are (unfortunately)
a little better than those in the ST-world.  I have never had a problem
doing things this way, believe-it-or-not (no offense)
