The supposed bugs in ARCMASTER version 4xx and higher do not exist. If
people would bother to read the doc files they would have learned that
the directory that you specify for it to use to unarc and arc files to 
MUST be a special blank directory, since it will erase the entire contents
of the directory after it finishes rearchiving the file. If you didn't
bother to read the docs you might specify your root directory to use
for this function and after ARCMASTER was done, it would automatically
erase all files in that directory.
