I have just recently subscribed to this bulletin board, and am not sure
what procedure needs to be
followed to extract the archives of the various binary files found
thereon.  It seems that one needs
to use either arc or zoo.  In particular I am trying to sort out how to
reconstruct the massive posting
of Nethack 2.3 found on this board.    It appears to be in .arc format. 
 Do I cut out the pieces of the archive and paste them together before
trying to unarc it?  or do I unarc it first.  And should this
be done on Unix machinery or on a PC (I have access to both versions).

Any help is appreciated.
