At one ftp site, I saw that numerous dos utilities to be ftp'd are somehow compressed, either ending in .arc or .zip. I have also seen another directory at this ftp site onctaining numerous files beginning with arc, others with zip, but after I download them, I can't figure out how to put them together to form ane executable archiving program. Going by the Macintosh world (where I am from), I assume that both the arc and zip programs will be so common that most readers of this newsgroup will be able to tell me how to ftp either the arc ro the zip program, and even tell me what they do! Thanks very much in advance, RB.
