Early versions of Pkarc were written mostly in MASM and a portable C
version of Pkarc has not been released yet, therefore would not do you
any good unless you have a PC/MS-DOS machine.  However, the method used
for squashing has been posted somewhere (here I think).
If you need to unsquash on a PC/MS-DOS machine the download
the binaries from comp.binaries.ibm.pc (it's posted there monthly).
If you need to unsquash on an non PC/MS-DOS machine, download the
modified ARC sources from comp.sources.misc (the sources have been
modified to unsquash PKARC archives) [comp.sources.misc or comp.sources.unix
is were you're likely to find a Unix version of PKARC when it's released].

As for uuencode/uudecode, it wouldn't hurt for automatic monthly
posting but not here (comp.sys.ibm.pc).  It should be (and probably is)
posted to one of the comp.sources.* groups.
