A hunt & peck typist surely thinks four letters are easier to type than
six.  That's a 1/3 reduction!  :-)

But actually, I believe ARCE also accepts wildcards as arguments.


My PC is also ethernetted, but it doesn't help me any on the Mac, Atari,
and Amiga stuff that comes across that I store in the same directory to
test with ARC (on a VAX) before downloading.  And I still use PKARC on my
PC.
