If you follow alt.sources, the guy who ported arc 5.2 to BSD said something
about beginning a port to his ST in a couple of days. In any event, the arc
posted in alt.sources works on BSD, or seems to so far. I only compiled it
today and need to check into it further before asking the site manager to
actually install it. Does 5.2 have "all IBM Arc compression methods"?

Please note that I have nothing more to do with arc than using it, and
I don't know Howard personally (he's done a number of good things for the
ST), so this is PURE RUMOR for the time being...
