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. jvc@mirror.tmc.com
