There is a unarcer on the ST that can handle level 9 compression. Thomas Zerucha wrote a unarc only program that can handle it. I don't have any way to uuencode it with this account (it's rather small even), so the best I can do is offer it off my bbs. You might ask him about posting it here though. I haven't actually tried to find a pkarc file to test on it, but knowing Thomas, I think we can believe that it works... /* Tom! use the pathname to write me... */ sreeb@pnet01.cts.com (Ed Beers) writes: >The recent posting of man.arc flags what is likely to become a problem for all >of us.
