Get a copy of 'PKX35A35.EXE'. When you execute this program on your
PC, It will  automatically DE-ARC itself and produce the following:

PKXARC.COM  --  DE-ARC utility
PKX.COM     --  ARC utility
PKXARC.DOC  --  Doc file
PKX.DOC     --  Doc file



Try calling a local PC-based BBS system. Most have "download" sections
where you can obtain many valuable utilities.

If you have to other source of local BBS phonenumbers, Call (312) 545-8086.
Read messages 16-19.
