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?

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

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.

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
