[net.micro.cpm] ARC utility for CP/M

NOLAND@USC-ISI.ARPA (Steve Noland) (12/22/85)

Does anyone know if there has been a version of the MSDOS ARC utility
done for CP/M, or at least something that would allow one to extract
files from a .ARC file?

Thanks in advance,

Steve Noland

Steve,
Yes, DEARC.PQS at SIMTEL20, available via ANONYMOUS FTP as:
TURBOPAS:DEARC.PQS
no less.

Turbo Pascal.

Steve, DEARC.PQS is for MSDOS, not CP/M.  It must be changed slightly
and that has been done.  DEARC for CP/M is available from SIMTEL20 as:

Filename			Type	 Bytes	 CRC

Directory PD:<CPM.TURBOPAS>
DEARC-CP.LBR.1			BINARY	 28032  C01AH

I can't get it to run on my system because I don't have enough TPA
space.  Please give it a try, though.  My TPA is smaller than most
people's because of an EPROM at E000h.

There exists a version of ARC in Turbo Pascal.  I don't remember the
exact name but it is something obvious like ARC.PAS.  It is available on
many BBS systems that have Turbo Pascal interest groups.
I am pretty sure that there is a copy available on the Santa Fe BBS
(505) 988-5867.  This machine  is available from 4pm to 6am MST and on
weekends.
