[net.micro.pc] ARC.EXE does not work

I took this program, ran it through uudecode, and sent it through
kermit, and tried it on several MSDOS machines.

In each case, the machine locked up and I had to turn it off.

Could it be that we received a bad copy over the net?

Most likely you did not set kermit for binary transfer protocol. I 
received another similar note a few days ago and this was the problem
in that case.
