Most of the files that I tried downloading from ftp sites for my PC
have the extension .ARC What am I supposed to do with these files?
Are they archive files? Also, I downloaded some .EXE files and
when I attempted to execute them, DOS aborted by "Program too big
to fit in memory". The last question is, how do you get these .ARC
files.

I would appreciate any comments on these questions.
Thanks in advance,
Tasos
