From my /pc/ts/tsfaq10.arc, concerning the latter question:

11. *****
 Q: Where can I find unix sources for .arc, .lzh, .zoo, and .zip
file compression.

 A: You can find Unix arc, lharc, zoo, and UNzip packages in the
/unix/ts directory at the anonymous ftp site chyde.uwasa.fi. The
instructions for processing these unix packages are in
/unix/ts/0news-u. Note that there is no zip packing yet for Unix,
only zip unpacking.

The wares are available by anonymous ftp from chyde.uwasa.fi, Vaasa,
Finland, 128.214.12.3, or by using our mail server (use the latter
if, and only if you don't have anonymous ftp).  If you are not
familiar with anonymous ftp or mail servers, I am prepared send
prerecorded instructions on request (provided that your email
address is reachable).
