I think we all need a better version of ARC & ARCX on the Atari 8-bit. Ralph
Walden, the author of the versions we are stuck with, has basically disappeared
from the face of the earth. Does anyone out there have the time and resources
to create a slick, bug-free ARC & ARCX in Assembly, C, or ACTION??

If someone can send me the info on the specific ARC format, i.e. the actual algorithms to be followed while ARCing and unARCing a file, I'd be happy to muss around with it and post any successes I may have, to the net... No guarantees, but I'd love to have the ARC info to work with... Chris Chiesa Senior, CS Dept.

In article <2467@bsu-cs.UUCP>, cdchiesa@bsu-cs.UUCP expressed interest in
creating a better ARC/ARCX for the old Atari 8-bit series of computers.
I will be looking for detailed information on ARC -- I will find some,
hopefully. If anyone out there has access to any information about ARC,
PLEASE post it.
It's a negative integral power ratio... fireplace@cup.portal.com

It is however a LONG download, about a 350K file. The IBM version is around the same length. -- ******************************************************************************* * euloth@dalcsug.uucp || Disclaimer: All opinions are my own unless other- * * /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ || wise noted. * ****AKA: Atari Nut*************************************************************
