[comp.sources.wanted] Need new ARC source/binary

jl42+@andrew.cmu.edu (Jay Mathew Libove) (01/31/88)

[ cross posted to comp.unix.xenix, comp.sources.wanted, and
  comp.binaries.ibm.pc because of the diversity of my need... ]

I need to get a newer version of arc, both in source and MS DOS binary form,
than version 5.12 (which is what I currently have source for on my SCO Xenix
2.2.1 system) and newer than 5.20 (which is the binary I currently run on
my MS DOS 3.21 partition)...

I have been finding archives on occasion that arc 5.12 and 5.20 couldn't
handle, yet I don't recall hearing of a newer one. If anyone can offer
the sources/binaries or any information thereabout, please mail me.

Thanks!

This is probably due to the fact that PKARC, a ARC variant, was used to
create the archives.  PKARC also will use a 13-bit Lempel-Ziv compression
technique to further compress files, whereas ARC only goes up to 12-bits.
The latest version of ARC is 5.21 (major release 5, minor release 2,
teensy-weensy change 1 :-)
