ARC

[Milt]

Silver,
This probaboy won't help you, but I got this by doing a
search on "ARC": "The ARC data compression format, created
by Systems Enhancement Associates, is particularly popular
among bulletin board systems (BBSs). Files that have been
compressed with an ARC utility end with a.ARC extension.
To decompress them, you need a utility called ARC-E
(stands for arc-extract)."

You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on
