Aochi) Distribution: comp.archives Organization: University of California, Berkeley Lines: 18 How do you de-arc files from simtel20? I retrieved some files of the form: EMACS15E.ARC.2 ^ | What is this? I am currently storing these files, retrieved tenex mode, in a UNIX system account, but would like to download the files for use on my PC (the files are for the PC). I know about arc, tar, compress (Z), zip...but what is _that_ number? Can someone please help me....none of the files are ASCII text. please e-mail me directly Thanks, Gary H. Aochi
