I've just gotten some arc files at home that seem to have been compressed with ARC version 7.02, which I don't have. Did this get posted to the net yet, or will it be posted in the near future?

ARC 7.02 is a commercial package, backward compatible (insert smiley's if you want) with previous versions which aren't forward-compatible with 7.02. Maybe Vern Buerg, et al, will release an ARCE that'll help. If you got the files from someone you can contact directly, have them give them to you in a self-extracting archive (if ARC 7.02's the only thing they have). -- halcyon!ralphs@seattleu.edu The 23:00 News and Mail Service - +1 206 292 9048 - Seattle, WA USA +++ A Waffle Iron, Model 1.64 +++

You can use this file, available from SIMTEL20, to extract the files from that ARC made by v7.02.

I've heard that they include a freely redistributable decompressor with the package, so I'd ask the person that provided the files for the unpacker. (then I'd re-pack them in a more politically correct archiver, but that's another story... :-) I've also heard that ARC 7.02 isn't selling very well. -- Roy M.

I've heard that it is selling extremely well.
