Why not, at least in the interim, just use uuencode/uudecode the binaries?
You have to do this to the ARC files, anyway, before sending them.  The
main things that ARC does are to concentrate a whole directory structure
into one file, and to compress that file.  I'd say, for now, to just toss
out the ARC/de-ARC step of packing/unpacking.  

Please choose some interim solution soon, however; don't force people to
wait on some "Well, I'll get around to it someday, and then I'll start
posting binaries" solution.  We appreciate your effort, but getting the
binaries out in the first place is more important than HOW you get them
out (as long as it's something most people can cope with, anyway).


Thanks!
