What is the latest version of the ARC Shell by Charles F. Johnson ?
I got version 2.05, but it seems to have less functions than the
1.96b - version. It also doesn't recognize the path of ARC.TTP,
even when I save the configuration in ARCSHELL.CNF.

The latest ARCSHELL is 1.96b, version 2.05 is a bogus upgrade and was not created by Charles Johnson. It was ULed to the GEnie network and a few BBS's before the scam was uncovered - and who knows what horrors might lurk in that file. I'd throw that one in the trash icon ASAP and do a complete viral check to be sure... Peter Szymonik Xorg@cup.portal.com

Actually, the latest official ARCSHELL from Charles Johnson, as distributed on GEnie is version 1.98. Someone tried to upload a bogus version 2.00, with a bogus ARC called TurboARC 1.1, but GEnie took it off after Charles Johnson complained. Seems that someone modified any early (1.96??) ARCSHELL and an early ARC for some perverse reason. that person then proceeded to upload it all over the USA!! So, if you ever see a program called TurboARC, rest assured that it is bogus!!
