For whoever was looking for an ARC which is compatible to non MS-DOS 
systems, there is a ZOO archiver available which takes all the same
commands as ARC, runs faster and has been ported to UNIX. There is
an on-going discussion of various archivers going on on a bulletin
board - if you have a modem then pitch in - It's Magpie BBS at 
212 - 420 - 0527. Problem with arc is that it has records of 23 
bytes which is definately not portable to any micro that requires
even-byte boundary allignment.

There is another even better archiver which is faster than PKARC 
or ZOO and is written completely in C. It is available from the 
author through Magpie. Since DWC is still a prototype version, the
author is open for suggestions.

Hope I've been of some help -

Everybodys got to be somewhere.
