[comp.sys.apple] Handling ARC files

delaney@wnre.aecl.CDN (Grant Delaney) (10/19/87)

A week or so ago information on deARCing files on apples was distributed.  As
it happens a program for the GS is listed on both GENI and CompuServe and 
soon likely on other bulletin Boards.  Unfortunately it is too large to be
converted into an execution type file.  How ever it is available a shareware
for $15 from:

If you would like to see the docs first send me a line and I will forward or
list if sufficient interest expressed

I downloaded said program (to dearc files on a Apple) to my GS (running the
new p16, etc.) and also downloaded a vanilla .arc file from this site.
When I tried to dearc the files, all I got was garbage - hard to explain
and I WISH I could show you.  Lots of flashing lines, weird scrollings, etc.
So far, no luck.
