	I realize that nobody likes a law suit in the industry, but
my personal opinion was that it was bad form on Phil Katz's part to
label his incompatible files with the same .ARC suffix.  It should
have been something else, like .ARK.  And for that, SEA should have
probably taken legal action a long time ago.
	I know that PXARC turned out to be better, but the files still
should have had a different extension!
