SEA recently released ARC 6.01, which does subdirectories.  They've
made some expansions to the standard for comments and long filenames,
but ARC doesn't use them yet.  ARCE 4.0c will also handle the
subdirectory headers.

So I'm writing my VAZ program (view ARC/ZOO/DWC/ZIP, DBF, GIF, PIF,
EXE... contents (rampant featuritis at work!)), and have to contend
with 3 separate ways of commenting .ARC's- the SEA method, the Katz
method, and the PAK method (which at least usually uses a different
extension).

ARC now has a 5 option for "version 5 compatibility", too.
