The ARC522.EXE available from SIMTEL20 is authentic, having been
obtained directly from SEA's BBS. If you find a copy of it on your
local BBS here's how to check to make sure it is authentic.
After running ARC522.EXE to extract its files you should see:
ARCE COM 7136 9-16-87 3:12a
ARC DOC 103359 3-31-88 5:22p
ARC EXE 32706 3-23-88 3:22p
ARCE DOC 11373 9-16-87 3:12a
ARCORDER TXT 4309 3-31-88 5:14p
Using CRC67, a CRC checking program, to check the files you should see:
--> FILE: ARCE .COM CRC = D0 6A
--> FILE: ARC .DOC CRC = 45 FD
--> FILE: ARC .EXE CRC = 85 68
--> FILE: ARCE .DOC CRC = 9E D8
--> FILE: ARCORDER.TXT CRC = A1 9C
If you don't have CRC67, use the new ARC.EXE to make an archive of the
extracted files. The archive should look like this (note the CRCs and
file sizes).
