There is a unarcer on the ST that can handle level 9 compression.  Thomas
Zerucha wrote a unarc only program that can handle it.  I don't have any way
to uuencode it with this account (it's rather small even), so the best I can
do is offer it off my bbs.  You might ask him about posting it here though.  I
haven't actually tried to find a pkarc file to test on it, but knowing Thomas,
I think we can believe that it works...
