Yep, I created and posted the VMS version of ARC to comp.os.vms a couple of
months ago.  When I get some free time I plan to add squashing (at least for
extracting), fix some bugs, and improve performance.  There is very little
VMS specific code in it, so the end result should be portable to all flavors
of that other operating system without too much work.
