Summary: the Softwear Sweatshop has it

Sources for ARC floated around a month or two or three ago, and I made
the trivial changes necessary to work it  on a VAX/VMS system, for the
same reason (my Atari is connected to the world through  my VAX, as is
my PC/AT).  UUENCODE and UUDECODE  are a dime  a dozen, and  you don't
really have to make any changes to the UNIX  version to get it to work
right.  There  might be    something  minor like changing  index()  to
strchr().  I'm going to DECUS,  so I'll make ARC available  somewhere,
somehow, sometime when I get back.

While we're on  the subject of Atari  computers near  VAX/VMS systems,
I've written  a nice little utility for  the VAX that translates Degas
image bitmaps into QMS QUIC code for the QMS laser printers,  known as
Lasergrafix or Talaris depending.    I've posted  it to  the  info-vax
mailing list, so it will appear on  Usenet in newsgroup comp.os.vms or
some such (maybe mod.computers.vax if that still exists?). It went out
yesterday.
