I currently in the planning stages of creating a program for the Apple II
which would allow an Apple II BBS to become part of FidoNet.  At the moment
I have all the FSC files and everything seems to fairly straight forward -
at least the basics.  Before all you PC types start scoffing, I'm only trying
to guage the feasibiliy of this project at the moment.  I have successfully
implemented X and Ymodem for my own BBS so the programming won't be a problem.
The first problem I see is that mail is sent in ARC format so I'd need code
to unARC files.
        So, does _anyone_ out there have specifications for the ARC format or
better yet, some ARC source code?  Obviously it must exist as I have an ARC
program for both the Mac and Apple II already.  I'd be gratefull for any help
with this information or where to locate it.

- Doug
