Yup.  I have!

Actually around 800K!

What you could do is use a cat program and an 820K RAM disk.  Put all
your parts onto your RAM disk, then cat them onto your 820k disk.  
Then uudecode onto your RAM disk, then unarc onto another disk.

I have a monochrome system also.  It works really great!  It reads in a
650K digitized music file and plays it in about a minute and a half.
Obviously, it won't work with a 512K system.  If you need a cat program,
I might be able to find the one that some kind person on this net sent
to me.

Good luck!
