[comp.unix.questions] Availability of LIB or ARC software for UNIX

samlb@well.UUCP (03/21/87)

     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?

	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.
