My changes were basically adding some error handling and fixing a lot of lint problems, though there are still quite a few remaining. If someone will give me a location to send these to, perhaps I can put the changes together for someone to apply to a common version. P.S. Do you think that this person would consider merging COMPLETELY the two or three versions of Unix arc that we have running around. There is one version which allows items to be executed from within an archive, a version which does some limited squashing, a version that allows longer versions, and now I see that something that allows things like long pathnames, etc. -- Larry W.
