No, but there are 2 programs, arc2zip and zip2arc. They convert from one format to the other. I have not tried them yet, but the bbs I usually call used arc2zip to convert all their arc files, so I assume it worked ok! (I may have the program names wrong. I have downloaded them but not unzipped them ('Unzipped', what a laugh!)) >ARC is still the standard! If PKZIP isn't >able to read - if not write - .ARC-Files, this means I have to keep >SEA's ARC...
