[comp.os.cpm] UNARCing files under CP/M

Subject: UNARCing files under CP/M (or Z)
In the middle of last month someone posted an ARCed file which I would be
interested in getting working for one of my children. The frustrating thing
(as an LBR user) is that although I can display the ARC directory and/or
display the files on the screen, I cannot extract them into files. I currently
have UNARC.COM. Which program/programs should I have to achieve my ends?
Help/advice would be most welcome.

Tony, I don't understand your question.  UNARC.COM does extract files.
The syntax is  UNARC *.* B:  assuming you want the output files on B:
drive.

The latest version of UNARC is 1.6, which is distributed as
UNARC16.ARK, a self-extracting archive (rename to UNARCK16.COM and
execute).
