   But there IS a comp.sources.misc. PC sources should go there. That is
where I posted PCcurses.
   As for using arc on these files, PC users can get a copy of arc for Unix,
and use it after they've extracted the shar files. That's what I do.
   Personally I think there is too much of this "BBS mentality" in the PC
groups (just in general; I don't mean the person whose article I'm replying
to). Those individuals should go elsewhere as far as I'm concerned, like to
a BBS. They've already made comp.sys.ibm.pc worthless.
