I have arc and arc530 from SEA, and arc on unix, but some of the recent binaries, posted to comp.binaries.ibm.pc have been incompatible with the arc that generated these files. What is the current standard arc? Can someone mail it to me. My personal favorite format for transporting files from Unix<->DOS is a compressed tar file. on the pc with compress and tar I can create a file with many files/directories etc to go to a unix machine on the pc with u16 and tar I can uncompress everything that has two part names, that is most things. But since arc is currently the way most things are posted, I need on that will do the job, and a unix implementation also. Thanks in Advance! -- Frank Kolakowski ____________________________________________________________________________ |lfk@mbio.med.upenn.edu || Lee F.

Is there such a culprit out there somewhere? Shareware or otherwise? This is in reference to UNIX. If anyone has ideas on how to correct this problem, besides<< NOT >> using arc, please send me your ideas... TIA mrk
