Hi, I have been trying to compile Howard Chu's version of Unix ARC (5.21) on one of our NeXTs but without much success. Things work fine until I get to the libtws.a part (I can supply the make output if anyone's interested) and then it bombs. First, it complained about no table of contents, but I fixed that with ranlib. Then it complains about some symbol definitions, but I am not enough of a C expert to figure this out. Would anyone know how to get this to work, or better yet, would anyone have a working version of ARC (and/or ZIP) for the NeXT ? Our machines are '030 running version 2.0 of the OS. Thanks ! - John --------------------------------------------- Internet: duchow@ucrac1.ucr.edu morro@drycas.club.cc.cmu.edu duchow@watnxt3.ucr.edu BITNET: duchow@UCRVMS morro@DRYCAS

I have Arc 5.21c working on my NeXT. I got it from simtel20.army.mil in pd1:<misc.unix> as arcsrc.tar-z (which you would rename to arcsrc.tar.Z and extract in the usual way). Here are my notes on how to compile it: 16 Mar 1991 41. Compiled arc from arcsrc.tar.Z (simtel20). Changed: a) added -Dabort=abortx to line 31 of Makefile, b) added -bsd to line 35 of Makefile, c) added -object -s to lines 54 and 57 of Makefile, d) deleted memset() function in arcmisc.c. Did a "make arc" and a "make marc" (ignore warning from make marc). Put arc and marc in /usr/local/bin. Moved arc.1 to /usr/man/man1. Enjoy. Mark Adler madler@pooh.caltech.edu

Binaries and man pages for the three most popular PC-compatible archivers--arc (and marc), zoo (and fiz), and unzip, are (and have been for some time, although I rebuilt the tar file recently) available for anonymous FTP from sutro.sfsu.edu [130.212.15.230] as pub/PC-unarchivers.tar.Z The binaries were built under 1.0, and linked with -lsys_s, so they will run on 1.0/1.0a, 2.0, and 2.1 systems. There are no functional changes from the publicly available sources. -=EPS=-
