ARC and ZOO for Unix are available from SIMTEL20.  ARCSRC.TAR-Z will
handle PKWare's squashing as well as the ARC compression methods.

Here is the info file from 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

    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.

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.
