Does anyone know if there is a CP/M version of ARC or PKARC? I keep seeing .ARC and .ARK files on various BBSs, but I can not find the animal that creates them. I've checked these out, and they are not MS-DOS .ARCs. These are CP/M programs that have been put into a .ARC format. I have a program (UNARC.COM) that will "unarc" them (it also works on MS-DOS .ARCs) but it does not create them. I have seen mentions of a program called NOAH that is supposed to create these files, but it doesn't appear on any of the BBSs that I frequent. Any information (especially about where I can get a copy of this program) would be appreciated. Thanks. Bill Seward (SEWARDB@UNCG.BITNET)

There are several library utilities for CP/M. Some of the best known
are LU.COM, NULU.COM, and (I believe) LAR.COM (though I could be wrong
about the last one). As far as I know, however, they create files
with .LBR as the extension, not .ARC.
I'm sure that you can get these from any Kaypro User Group, and probably
from the C Users' Group in Kansas, as well as on a number of RCPM's and
BBS's. When I have time (it's 2 a.m., and I'm at home right now), I'll
check in my office and see if I have any further info. Good luck.
