Someone else may have already answered this one, but the PKARC program
doesn't handle wildcards on the .ARC filenames; only the PKXARC program does
that!  Fortunately, both programs have the -v command, so you can do a:
  PKXARC -v *
to view the contents of all of the .ARC files in your directory.
(BTW, I assume you have PK361.EXE now, which supports renamed programs
PKPAK.EXE and PKUNPAK.EXE, as a result of the now [in]famous lawsuit...])
