I have just recently tried to log into some local BBS's to download some 
software to help me on projects I am working on.  In the process I have run
accross some .ARC files and they are, it would seem, at times the files I 
need.  Yet I don't know how to make them usable.  I assumed they needed some
sort of unpacking program but haven't been able to find one that works.  I am
running pc-dos, if that information helps.  So whats the secret??

Dying to find out..
