I am interested in obtaining a copy of the latest version of ARC for the
IBM-PC. If possible I would like sources that are compilable with Lattice
C. Please mail an offer, and I will contact the closest person.

The sources to arc are compatible with neither Lattice nor Microsoft C. They require the Computer Innovations C86 optimizing compiler, and a special macro preprocessor sold by SEAware, the same company that sells arc. (Remember, arc is shareware, not public domain) Porting it to either Lattice or Microsoft without spending any money would involve expanding the macros by hand, and recoding the few routines that are dependent on library calls specific to the CI86 development system. Actually, I can't believe that people are still using ARC. Phil Katz's PKXARC program is about 10 times the speed of the original arc, produces archives 100% compatible with SEAware arc, and is a pleasure to use. -- Ben Broder {ihnp4,decvax} !hjuxa!catnip!ben {houxm,clyde}/

Phil Katz's latest arc program PKX34A20.COM (which self-extracts PKARC and PKXARC .com's and .doc's) is available from SIMTEL20 as: PD:<MSDOS.ARC-LBR>PKX34A20.COM It may be obtained via Internet FTP or from the archive server via netmail. This is a BINARY(8) file on SIMTEL20, set FTP parameters accordingly.

Does anyone know if there is a version of PKXARC that runs on BSD (or other UNIX based) systems? If not, how portable is the source code? Thanks.

A month or so ago, I got a source code copy of ARC for unix systems
off the net. It works just like ARC for the IBM-PC/MS-DOS world.
Except, my copy extracts files just fine however it will not produce
a good archive file. I'm hoping that a new copy that some kind soul
will mail to me will perform as it should.

For whoever was looking for an ARC which is compatible to non MS-DOS systems, there is a ZOO archiver available which takes all the same commands as ARC, runs faster and has been ported to UNIX. There is an on-going discussion of various archivers going on on a bulletin board - if you have a modem then pitch in - It's Magpie BBS at 212 - 420 - 0527. Problem with arc is that it has records of 23 bytes which is definately not portable to any micro that requires even-byte boundary allignment. There is another even better archiver which is faster than PKARC or ZOO and is written completely in C. It is available from the author through Magpie. Since DWC is still a prototype version, the author is open for suggestions. Hope I've been of some help - Everybodys got to be somewhere.

A while back rtech!cpsc6a!cpsc6b!crs posted the source for a UNIX flavoured
ARC program for eating PC-ARC format files. As far as I can tell it was
posted in several shell archives. The set I have is incomplete: nothing
I have will compile as I get 'arcs.h not found' type error messages for
everything. If someone out there has the full set could they please wrap
it up, and email it at me.
Thanks in advance

We did not seem to get any of the posting of the UNIX flavor of the arc program that was posted. If someone has source to arc would they please let me know where and how to get it. Most preferred: source that will run on a VAX 785 Ultrix 1.2 Thanks in advance. alberta!auvax!kevinc (Kevin Crocker Athabasca University) Do employers have opinions or is that what they hire us for?

------Help!?!-------
Can anyone post or mail the changes to the recent posting of arc that will
get it to run on a Pyramid 90x machine. I know that we're running BSD4.(some-
thing). The Vax version won't work and I don't know C and/or Unix enough to
do much more than spell them. If anyone has fixed arc to run on our system
please send me word.
Thanks,
Terry Banks

we're looking for sources for a recent p.d. version of an "arc" compress/archive/de-archive program. in particular, the program: 1) should compile under both UNIX (BSD or SYS-V) and DOS and allow files to be arc'd on one system and de-arc'd on the other. 2) should allow comments to be associated with archive entries 3) should do a reasonably good job of compressing files 4) should operate reasonably quickly we don't have internet access, and i don't receive this newsgroup... so please email replies to the address below! any and all help is appreciated!! -- Don Kossman, SEI Information Technology, Los Angeles mahendo.jpl.nasa.gov!jplgodo!seila!don
