There is a program out circulating the boards known as ARC31, which
will both create and undo ARChive's, including TRSLINK's.  The
biggest problem with it is that it will require a lot of disk space
to undo an ARChive as great in length as TRSLINK.  The TRSLINK file
is structured so that it will just barely de-ARC on a minimum system
disk on a two-drive SSDD system.  If you have more space than this
(either a hard drive or larger floppies or at least three floppy
SSDD drives), it will work much better.

I don't know of any ftp sites for ARC31, but you can get it from
almost any TRS-80 BBS, commercial system supporting TRS-80's, or PD
mail-ordering system supporting TRS-80's (check the File Cabinet ads
in the TRSLINKs you have).

>Also, are "back issues" of TRSLNK available? I have TRSLNK 10 to present.

Again, I don't know of any ftp sites.  You *might* find some earlier
in this newsgroup if your site has messages dating back that far.
You can certainly get all back issues from the editor's BBS (see
TRSLINK again), and there are other places advertising back issues
as well.
