UNIX Toolkit ?  Whatever is that ?  Must be one more of all those goodies that
we here in the backwoods of BITNET/EARN never get to see ...

Let's make a deal: someone sends me the uuencoded arc file, and I'll decode
it back home on my IBM, and send the problem files back to him ... ;-)

Seriously: is there anyone out there who could write a new ARC version for the
ST that includes all IBM Arc compression methods ??? Also, the ST Arc is *so*
slow, it could use a little speedup. Alternatively, one could use the DCOPY
utility, but that doesn't seem to arc correctly (unarcing works fine, and 4x
as fast as ST Arc).

(NB: If YOU REALLY want to send me a copy of that archive, send me a note
     first. I don't want to get crushed by thousands of postings ...  ;-)
