Far as I know, that is the latest version of ARC, per se (for Amy).

What I think you have are files that were put together by Phil Katz's PKARC
program.  There never was a complete implementation of PKARC released for Amy,
probably because he developed "ZIP" (due to the legal battle with the ARC
folks at SEA).

Anyway, there *is* a de-PKARC'er around for Amy.  It's called PKAX.  Should be
able to find it on a BBS, etc.  (Strangely, a grep of my Fish Xref list, shows
that it never made it to a FishDisk ... hmmmm).
