- with optional command line override for continuous display.
- * Provides assembly language overlay file for simplified installation of RCP/M
- versions or special options.

- form, within a library file, UNARC14.LBR. (The CRCK and CHEK values shown
- above apply to the uncompressed versions of these files, however.) Item 5 may
- be used to provide a requested program description after uploading UNARC14.LBR
- to a remote access system.
-
- Items 7 and 8 are provided primarily for RCP/M sysops and/or technically-
- oriented users with non-standard system requirements.
-
- NOTE
-
- 8080/8085 USERS: The file UNARCA.COM is an alternate version
- of the program which will run on your systems. However, it is
- larger and substantially slower than the standard (Z80-only)
- version, UNARC.COM. (UNARCA.COM will run on ALL CP/M systems,
- but it is specifically NOT recommended for users with Z80's!)
-
- RCP/M SYSOPS: Generation of a secure version of UNARC for
- remote use has been simplified by the introduction of the
- overlay file UNARCOVL.ASM. See also UNARCLUX.FIX if you use
- the LUX library/archive utility program.
-
- The UNARC.DOC file provides a complete program description and user operating
- instructions. Refer to the notice in that file regarding rights of use and
- distribution of this program and its associated documentation files.
