Correct, it appears that all the GCC related ARC files were compressed
using Squashing instead of Crunching.

There has been one major new version for the ST since 5.12 - 5.21,

If the person in charge of the CANAD01 LISTSERV would send me a message,
I'll ship 'em off a copy of the latest ARC. I can also be reached directly
on bitnet as
