Be careful here. Some packages - notably the COM-AND communications
package and the Z80MU52B CP/M emulator recently posted to c.b.i.p - have
copyright restrictions on what format you can post them in. Both the
ones mentioned must, according to the copyright, have only the original
.ARC file redistributed. The author of COM-AND had it removed from the
Houston Area League of PC Users library after they refused to use the
original .ARC file. Political considerations don't override copyright
requirements.
