It is well and good to say (as several have said) that one can use pkarc as long as the .arc files are not put on any non-ibm/clone machines. The problem is that one can't tell what machines a give file will end up on. For example, I up- and down-load to several different bulletin boards, including fido type boards as well as this usenet unix board. Keeping track of which board has which files is hard enough without worrying about whether or not the files are arc or pkarc. If pkarc used a different extension the whole problem would become simpler.
