Summary: arca is a small version of arc

Vern Buerg, author of many excellent pc utilities like LIST, is
working on versions of ARC functions that are small and fast.
Three that he has released so far are:
     arce         extract-only
     arcv         directory listing only
     arca         add only

Speedups are impressive--roughly 3x as fast as the equivalent
arc functions.  He's working with Thom Henderson, the author
of ARC, to be sure that they are kept up-to-date and accurate.

I can't post binaries to the nets, so the best alternative you
have for getting them is to look on a local Fido board or other
bbs for them.  Here are two places to find them for sure:
     VOR RBBS   Vern Buerg's system, in CA    (415) 994-2944
     Wipcus BBS  Ann Arbor, MI                (313) 663-1835

I'm sure they are elsewhere too.  Short plug for Wipcus--the
sysop is very good, and he also edits the newsletter which has
top quality articles.  end of plug.
