The latest version of the SEA/Buerg ARC programs that I have seen and
used are version 5.20.  They are available on several BBs, but you
might want to be suspecious of any that are not in the form of:

	ARC520.COM

This .com file, when run, creates all of the individual files making
up the release.  I don't know, however, how you can tell if you have
a good arc520.com or a Trojan Horse.
