Pkpak and gsarc(?) are, of course, "approximate" clones of arc (no value
judgements intended).  I suspect that "Squash" is also, probably a
strict subset.  The Unix "arc" I've listed deals with all the methods
that pkpak uses; I haven't seen arc v6, but it may diverge in one or two
compression methods.

		There is also a "booz" that is a minimal ZOO unpacker.
