Well, I've given up on getting the new release ready for distribution since my free time has dropped from zero to negative. However, since a number of people have reported having problems with VMS ARC crashing on large files, I have developed the following patch. To apply it, save the following text in a file called "ARCPATCH.COM" in the same directory as your ARC.EXE executable, then type "$ PATCH @ARCPATCH". This should create a new version of ARC.EXE as well as ARCPATCH.JNL which is a journel of the changes. If you have any problems, let me know. (For anyone who wants the VMS ARC distribution, it is available from the ibm.pc archives on SIMTEL20.) ---- Larry Jones UUCP: uunet!sdrc!scjones SDRC scjones@SDRC.UU.NET 2000 Eastman Dr. BIX: ltl Milford, OH 45150-2789 AT&T: (513) 576-2070 "I have plenty of good sense.
