Don't take this as an endorsement of any of the competing archivers, but
in case you missed it, ARC521 source was posted to comp.sources.unix
within the last month or so.  Modifications were made to handle PKxxx
squashing as well.  Sorry I can't tell you the volume, issue,
or name of the archive, because I've already unshared it, but anyone
should be able to pick it up from one of the many archive sites.
(Please don't write me asking where you can get it, check comp.sources.unix
for mention of archive sites.)

It practically made itself on a bsd type system, and it does work!

THANKS FOR POINTING OUT HOW IT CAN BE USEFUL.  I'VE BEEN WONDERING WHAT
THE HECK I WAS GOING TO DO WITH ARC ON A SUN.  :-)
