I am the "download guru" for the Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link (public access UNIX system) in Sausalito, CA. Recently several of the users here have asked me if there is any software available that runs under UNIX which will pack and unpack files in the MS-DOS ARC or CP/M-80 LIB formats. After looking through the listing of public domain UNIX software from SIMTEL20 and not finding any, I replied that I'd have to go ask the experts -- you. Can anybody help me here? - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Sam'l Bassett, Self-Employed Writer -- My words & ideas are for sale! 34 Oakland Ave., San Anselmo CA 94960; (415) 454-7282 UUCP: {...known world...!lll-crg OR hplabs OR ptsfa}!well!samlb; Compuserve: 71735,1776; MCI: SBassett; EasyLink: ESL 6284-3034 -- Sam'l Bassett, Self-Employed Writer -- My words & ideas are my own! 34 Oakland Ave., San Anselmo CA 94960; (415) 454-7282 UUCP: {...known world...}!hplabs OR ptsfa OR lll-crg!well!samlb; Compuserve: 71735,1776; WU Easylink ESL 6284-3034; MCI SBassett

There are utilities available from SIMTEL20 to deal with LBRs and ARCs on Unix hosts. PD:<UNIX.ARC-LBR> ARC-BSD42.SHAR1.1 ASCII 54219 D7F9H ARC-BSD42.SHAR2.1 ASCII 53075 1832H ARC-BSD42.SHAR3.1 ASCII 54786 85EFH ARC-SYS5.SHAR1.1 ASCII 52777 97B3H ARC-SYS5.SHAR2.1 ASCII 42361 E381H ARC-SYS5.SHAR3.1 ASCII 35887 A059H LAR.C.1 ASCII 14980 6BABH LDIR-LTYPE.MSG.1 ASCII 1302 81F6H LDIR-LTYPE.SHAR.1 ASCII 14372 4D91H LAR is a program to make/extract files from LBR's. LDIR-LTYPE are utilities to list the directories and type files in LBRs. The others are ARC for Unix BSD4.2 and Unix System-V. --Keith Petersen <Info-Cpm-Request@SIMTEL20.ARPA> Arpa: W8SDZ@SIMTEL20.ARPA Uucp: {bellcore,decwrl,harvard,lll-crg,ucbvax,uw-beaver}!simtel20.arpa!w8sdz GEnie Mail: W8SDZ

Try looking in mod.sources, net.sources, and on simtel20 pd:<unix> or maybe it was pd:<cpm.unix>. I've got (un)crunching programs, library , .lbr files, programs and of course arc. All of the programs run under 4.2 BSD, Encore Multimax UMAX 4.2 to be exact. They're all out there, you just have to look in all the nooks and crannys. -Rob Healey
