Does anyone know the format of .ARC files, as hacked by the ARCX and ARC
that were posted a while ago?  I've gotten sick of their slowness and
low memory requirements, and am contemplating whacking together some new
ones.  I've looked at dumps of the binaries, but it's not obvious how
the files are constructed (not surprising, if they're Huffman encoded).
Alternatively, does anyone know how to lay hands on the source for ARCX
and ARC?  Failing that, does anyone know how to contact the authors?
Thanks for any info.
