ARC seems to be better and more stable. I know nothing of LU except that it exists and may do squeezing as part of its function. -- - bc - ..!{seismo,topaz,gatech,nbires,ihnp4}!ut-sally!cyb-eng!bc (512) 835-2266

Vern Buerg, author of many excellent pc utilities like LIST, is
working on versions of ARC functions that are small and fast.
Three that he has released so far are:
arce extract-only
arcv directory listing only
arca add only
Speedups are impressive--roughly 3x as fast as the equivalent
arc functions. He's working with Thom Henderson, the author
of ARC, to be sure that they are kept up-to-date and accurate.
I can't post binaries to the nets, so the best alternative you
have for getting them is to look on a local Fido board or other
bbs for them. Here are two places to find them for sure:
VOR RBBS Vern Buerg's system, in CA (415) 994-2944
Wipcus BBS Ann Arbor, MI (313) 663-1835
I'm sure they are elsewhere too. Short plug for Wipcus--the
sysop is very good, and he also edits the newsletter which has
top quality articles. end of plug.
