I had the same trouble when I tried to unpack it. Examination of a hex dump
of the file showed that it was apparently packed on a Macintosh, so the
128 byte file header was pre-pended to the archive. I just used "dd" on my
unix box to get rid of the first 128 bytes and then unarc'd the file.

Also note that since it was done on a Mac, you will have to use "tr", etc.
to convert the end-of-line markers from CR to LF or CRLF.

I'll refrain from commenting on the creation of .arc files which don't comform
to the format specified by the creators :-(.
