I just tried to extract from dvidsk.arc posted to
comp.binaries.atari.st.  Arc on Unix (Version 5.21, created on
04/22/87 at 15:05:21) refused to extract USERGUIDE.TXT, giving the
message "Cannot create USERGUIDE.TXT".  On the other hand, the older
arc.5.12 (Archive Utility, 5.12 System V Version 1.1a, 4/30/87) had no
problem with this archive.

Is there a newer arc?  Thanx.  Follow-ups are to comp.sources.bugs!
