SIMTEL20 directory PD2:ARC is an archive/library utility developed by System Enhancement Associates which maintains compressed archives of files and directories. It uses various methods of compressing files, depending on which will produce the smallest result for each file. This directory contains source code for programs that implement ARC. ARC-BLURB.TXT A quick blurb about ARC, where to order disks and manuals. ARC-DOC.TXT The ARC manual. ARC-SYS5.TAR-Z A version of ARC for System V. Includes patches to make it run under 4.xBSD. Contributor: C. R. Seaman ARCSRC.TAR-Z The official version of ARC for UNIX. Contributor: Howard Chu BOOZ.TAR-Z A program written in very portable C to extract ZOO-format archives. Useful when you have to get one to a system for which a normal ZOO program is not available. Contributor: Rahul Dhesi ZOO.TAR-Z An archival program which supplies most of the functionality of the "tar" and "cpio" programs. Runs under VMS, BSD, Xenix, SVR2, and similar systems. Version 2.01. Contributor: Rahul Dhesi The filename.TAR-Z files should be renamed to filename.tar.Z after transfer to your Unix host. These files were compressed with a Unix-compatible compress program. Don't forget to use the tenex mode when getting binary files from SIMTEL20. --Keith
