Disagree... though it may be on FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) ?

X FILE.ARC                    - will extract all files from archive
X FILE.ARC FOO.BAR            - will extract file FOO.BAR from srchive
L FILE.ARC                    - will list files in archive (or is that `V' ?)

By the way, 6.02 is (I think) the latest version of ARC.

You may have forgotten to set the transfer mode to binary when you downloaded.
