I've used PKARC on a PC6300 here for ALONG time and experienced none of the
problems mentioned with the latest version (3.5).  Sounds like  C. R. has a
case of the outdated version blues... (possibly?)  I've used with an
expanded environment both on an AT&T and on clones with no problems.  And I
require extensive use of paths.

Anyhow, most of us find PKARC suitable for our uses just fine, as often
times it doesn't cause problems for us.
