This is probably a very basic MSDOS question.
 I see a lot of files on ftp sites of the form foo.arc,foo.zip etc..
 I can make out these are compressed files.

 I don't have any of these utilities on my  PC.Don't have PC on the net.
 Have unix R3000 machine on net.

 Can I copy these files to a directory on this machine.,and also where
is the arc,zip
 utilities to copy aswell.

 Then is kermit the only way to copy from the Unix box to the PC and is
there a version
  of kermit for 4.3 BSD unix.

 
 1. need ARC,ZIP programs.

 2.  copy to unix machine.

  3. Copy unix supported kermit to unix.

  4. Copy using kermit the ARC,ZIP programs to the PC.

   5.  Copy the ms-dos ****.arc programs using kermit from the unix box.

   6 run arc x filename in directory on DOS.


  Is this on the right lines and could someone help in some of the
above,especially

   1 and 3.

  
 This is from a very new msdos user,so smart-ass replies are even tolerated.
