CS-DOS is a multi-faceted utility for the 128.  It includes ARC128, CSXARC,
LHARC128 and much more.  ARC128 is the 128 version of Chris Smeets' popular
ARC program for the 64.  CSXARC can create/dissolve MS-DOS archives.  LHARC
can dissolve LHARChives, and with the 1750 REU, can create them.  The program
also creates an MS-DOS-like atmosphere for the 128 (just like ARC for the
64).  All the programs were written by Chris Smeets.
