That can be downloaded from SIMTEL20, but don't worry....it is >self-extracting. Almost, but not quite so. PKXARC (or PKUNPAK or ARC602) will do, but ARCE is not self-extracting. My advice for Thomas is to get PK361.EXE (it will contain PKPAK and PKUNPAK). You can get it from Simtel20, or from chyde.uwasa.fi, Vaasa, Finland, by anonymous ftp from directory /pc/pd2, or from any well-stocked BBS. And I agree with Austin that you mght be well-adviced to join the newsgroup comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d for these matters. ...................................................................
