Keith,

Is there any way for a non-internet site (ie. no FTP access) to acquire the
UNIX ARCSRC.TAR-Z file from SIMTEL20 ?? 

I have tried it via the MAIL trickle servers, but they don't appear to know
about the PD2: directory(s).  I guess what I'd like to see is a 
duplicate copy of this very useful utility in the PD1: directory,
which CAN be accessed by mail.  It's not really all that inappropriate, as the
source could also be useful for some MS-DOS systems as well (though I want it
for use on UNIX to examine MS-DOS .ARC files that I download from SIMTEL20).

Cheers,

-Mark
