Does there exist any type of file archiver such as ARC or ZOO
for the apple IIe? If so where can I find a copy?
Thanks, Joe

If you want something that acts like ARC, talk to Dave Lyons or Don Elton; such a program would be a great addition to Davex or ECP. Does anybody know of an Apple // program that does LZW encoding instead of Huffman? -- fadden@zen.berkeley.edu [crashed] c60c-3aw@widow.berkeley.edu (Andy McFadden)

I can't really say too much at this point, but... There will be an "ARC"-type format (that won't be outdated for a looong time) coming out sometime soon, with a program for it (that uses LZW, by the way). I've seen the specs (they're still being revised), and it looks like it'll be good. -- Jason - Not your average iconoclast | UUCP: uwvax!uwmcsd1!lakesys!jason "Draw on the walls, eat, get laid - back in the good old days" - R.

Anyone want to try a port? -- fadden@zen.berkeley.edu [crashed] c60c-3aw@widow.berkeley.edu (Andy McFadden)

Sure, someone could port an MS-DOS or other ARC over to the //gs (I don't know about the //e...), but it would be so slow as to be useless, unless the porter wanted to translate down into assembly, which would be a fairly large pain in the arsh. When the program I'm talking about gets released, none of this will matter a whole lot. Sure, it won't be ARC compatible, but it wouldn't be to tricky to write a converter (for store only type things, not the compressed stuff). Speaking of which, does anyone have the file format that ARC uses? If someone does, I'd appreciate it if you could mail me a copy. -- Jason - Not your average iconoclast | UUCP: uwvax!uwmcsd1!lakesys!jason "Draw on the walls, eat, get laid - back in the good old days" - R.
