I think arc or pkarc are public domain or at list shareware. They work
almost exactly the same way as PKARC and PKXARC on DOS PC, and the *.arc
file I had can be down-loaded to PC to unarc. (PKARC are freely distributed
and can be ftped from many sites like simtel20.arpa, but I do not know
about unix one, for VMS there is a ZOO).

However, you do not need that trouble for dvi2ps and TeXGuide, since I
made the .tar.Z files, and they are also in ~/tmp anonymous, 
june.cs.washington.edu. Those .tar.Z files are more up to the date than
the *.arc files too. To handle these files, ftp in binary mode, and

$uncompress *.Z
$tar -xmf dvi2ps
