In the Netherlands, we use two programs which arc and unarc files. The programs are called Xarc and ArcRom (both are Rom images). ArcRom is a bit buggy for large files, but they work quite adequate. They are compatible with both Messy-DOS Arc 5.1 and !Spark (at least 1.00), but I'm not sure that there is a provision for load/exec addresses. My solution usually is to include a file "ExecMe" which changes the load/exec addresses when *EXEC'ed. If there is interest, i'll have a try at posting them (using Unix uuencode). - Gerben

I didn't realise there was a rom version of Arc for the beeb. Thanks. -- Patrick Cain, Private Box 2060, Wellington, New Zealand.

I also agree, Tom, but at the moment I can't transfer stuff from system to BBC Disc or back, as disc drives have been removed from the only system connected Beeb's at this poly. What I'm really looking for at the moment is a Colour printer Dump progy that works on a Master 128 printing to a Star LC-10 Colour printer. ANY ONE GOT ONE THAT IS Public Domain !!!!?????

There is a beeb here connected into the network with a disk drive . it has lancs.KERMIT ROM in it as well as Acorns terminal ROM, but I HAVE (as yet ) failed to get anything succesfully transfered to DISK !
