- Allan,
-
- Files with the ARC extension on simtel20 are compressed with
- the older PKPAK pgm, available from our listserv, as well
- as from simtel20, as a self-extracting file. There isn't
- very much to learn there: PKUNPAK will uncompress an ARC
- file.
-
- Newer files on simtel20 are compressed with PKZIP, and have the
- ZIP extension.
-
- If you download SHEZ, you will be able to handle ARC, ZIP, LZH,
- ARJ, etc., files with minimum of trouble. This excellent shell
- takes care of all the compressing pgms. You can easily view,
- uncompress, delete, etc. It really is worthwhile to acquire.
-
- SHEZ74.ZIP and SHEZ74x.ZIP are the latest on <msdos.arc-lbr>.
- the 'x' version is a fix, so you must dowload both. The
- pgm is a shareware.
