Sorry for the non-binary posting to comp.binaries.ibm.pc, but that is where
the original article appeared.

I believe that an if-test is reversed in arcpack.c.  This is the result of a
visual inspection of the patch file.  I have not attempted any validation of
the new ARC-BSD for compression, but I have used it to successfully uncompress
PKARC-ed, squashed files that have been posted to the net.

The if-test in the above line should be altered as follows (reverse if test):
>! 	   if(!dosquash)
