[comp.sys.ibm.pc] ARC Problems, need help

Arc Problems.
Here's the problem, arc source compiles successfully on our 
Pyramid 98x (osx operating system), and arc claims to successfully
archive files.  But when you try to extract them (on the Pyramid and on
my pc) arc says that the CRC check fails.  The following is 
what is printed on extraction of Makefile from a test arc.

Extracting file: Makefile
WARNING: File Makefile fails CRC check

Upon inspection of the extracted file, I find that the tail is missing,
and when executing arc v test.arc, the following is printed:

Name          Length    Stowage    SF   Size now  Date       Time    CRC
============  ========  ========  ====  ========  =========  ======  ====
Makefile      1778712576  Crunched  101%  1610743808  14 $Header: arclst.c,
v 1.2 86/07/15 07:53:15 turner Exp $ 06  14:00p  8c9d

Total      1  1778712576            101%  1610743808  

Here's an ls -l of Makefile
-rw-r--r--  1 holly        1386 Jul 28 00:22 Makefile

So you can see that it isn't all that big.

Does anybody out there have arc running on Pyramid?  Could I have
a copy?  Or could you tell me how to fix the source so that it works on
Pyramid.

Alternatively, does anybody have a public domain version of uncompress
that will run on my pc?

Thanks,

Joe
