     You should not post the binaries again.  The binary (for IBM
PC) of PKARC is already well-distributed.  This is fine, but what
is really needed is the C code, so we can try to run this on our
Unix machines.  As it stands now, you must have both a PC and a
Unix system.  Further, after the files are received on the Unix
machine via Usenet, they must be transferred to the PC for
de-ARCing.

     It would be better if we could unpack the archives directly
on the Unix machines, so we can look at the documentation and such
before investing effort in moving all the code to some other
machine.
