10 bucks says I know what your problem is.  I think I had the same one.
You see, like a good boy, I followed the instructions in the .txt
file, typing "arc/?", and got only SYNTAX ERRORs.  The reason is: when
you type arc, CS-DOS looks for the file named "arc."  However, the real
file is called "arc128" by default, so you need to type "arc128/?", instead
of "arc/?".  This is true whether the file has been installed in RAM
or whether you are running it from disk.

Good luck!
