Has anyone else had problems unarcing the DMGBBS files
posted a while ago? Nobody seems to be mentioning it
in this group, but maybe I missed a repost... When I
clean up, concatenate, and uudecode the files I get
the file (dmgbbs.arc)
When I try to unarc it it gets the first file
DMGBBS.EXE 296??? bytes blah blah blah....
>>An entry in dmgbbs.arc has a bad header<< Here's where it dies-
it just hangs up...
Is my arc program too old or is there really a problem
with this archive?
Thanks!

Yes, it was created with pkarc which has to be used to un-arc it. Two of the archives were corrupt here.

I have been getting a few notes as to the fact that the DMGBBS is not unarcing correctly. I am in the process of checking out our local site and seeing if it was put on the system correctly. The program was first uuencoded with the local utility on the pyramid.' Second, it was split into 1000 line groups Then it was inserted into the newsgroup. On the PC, it was arc'ed using PKARC.COM version 3.5 if that helps out any. Which files of the three were bad, or was it all three? Also, has anyone out there managed to successfully pull it apart?

Yup - problems here (tektronix, major NW backbone site), too.
