Recently I tried to dearchive the file gcx123.arc, belonging to the GNU-C compiler postings. I got the following message from my arc.ttp: "I don't know how to handle file COPYING in archive GCX123.ARC I think you need a newer version of ARC." The same thing happened with all the other archieves belonging to the GNU-C postings I got. The first thing I tried was downloading a newer version of arc from LISTSERV at CANADA01 (BITNET, as I am a BITNET user). The file I ordered and received was PROG-A16 88-00152, described as "ARC.TTP ... (Repost)". It identi- fies itself as (stuff deleted): " System Enhancement Associates 21 New Street, Wayne NJ 07470 ARC - Archive utility, 5.12 - Atari ST Atari ST version developed by Harvey Johnson " which is the same as with my old arc. It also did not work, of course. So what can I do? Is there a newer version of arc available (could someone mail it to me if so)? Or is something wrong with the file? Has anybody had the same problems and/or can help? I would be glad to hear from you, netlanders! /* * Benno Salzgeber * Institute for Computer Applications * University of Stuttgart * Pfaffenwaldring 57 * D-7000 Stuttgart 80 (FRG) * VCD51661@DS0RUS54.BITNET */

The first thing I tried was downloading Correct, it appears that all the GCC related ARC files were compressed using Squashing instead of Crunching. >a newer version of arc from LISTSERV at CANADA01 (BITNET, as I am >a BITNET user).

(developed by lil' ol' me.... }-) If the person in charge of the CANAD01 LISTSERV would send me a message, I'll ship 'em off a copy of the latest ARC.
