Hi! I've been trying to make use of the math archive found on hpcvbbs.cv.hp.com, downloaded using anonymous ftp. The problem is, I don't know what format the file is in. I've tried uncompress, tar, and ar, and none of them work. Can someone please post a solution to my problem. The readme files in anonymous-ftp seem to be somewhat outdated, and aren't any help either. -Dave. PS. I really need these routines badly. Thanks.

Sorry to waste bandwidth, but no one has posted a solution to my problem, so here I go again: I've been trying to make use of the math archive found on hpcvbbs.cv.hp.com, downloaded using anonymous ftp.

Unfortunately, your address is bogus according to every map I've consulted, so please mail me a good path and the form that you want the archive in. >-Dave. -- Jason L.

I really appreciate this. -Dave.

But I am surprised that no one of the HP+IBMPC user gave the correct answer. ARC is the standard extension of the ARC compression utility, which exists on various systems (PC, UNIX, ATARI, etc.) and is public domain. The math.arc archive I retrieved from hpcvbbs is not corrupt, I have a version that at least passes the CRC check. The files in it are IMK HP48 RPL and binaries.
