PKARC also will use a 13-bit Lempel-Ziv compression technique to further compress files, whereas ARC only goes up to 12-bits. The latest version of ARC is 5.21 (major release 5, minor release 2, teensy-weensy change 1 :-) PKX35A35.EXE is available for download from the Clarkson University Heath User's Group bulletin board in F)ile area 1 at (315) 268-6667 (300/1200/2400), if you can't find it on a bulletin board locally.
