Sorry, this is 'can be unpacked under BSD Unix'. In case somebody has a
unzip program that works under sys V rel<3 please speak up. The advantage
ARC once had, and Zoo has is that it runs on many different platforms.
BSD unix and mess-dos may be dominant in some places, but for home Unix
machines system V is the OS. Please consider this, whoever you are who
will have to deal with this problem.
