SEA has just recently released ARC522. It's available here as:
Filename Type Bytes CRC
Directory PD1:<MSDOS.ARC-LBR>
ARC522.EXE.1 BINARY 87040 D62BH
which is a self-extracting archive.
This was obtained directly from SEA's BBS in order to assure it's
authenticity.
The documentation for the new version says that it is supposed to
handle non-standard LZW-compressed ARCs (one assumes that is a vague
reference to PKARC's "Squashed" members), however it doesn't seem to
be able to do this.
The program is still as slow as ever, about five times slower than
PKARC.
