In January, Robert Wilhite <wilhite@usceast.uucp> posted arc to net.sources.
While this version seems to work fine on the VAX, it
does not work on the Sun (try to create or add to an archive).  I recently
spent a few hours looking at the code and found several bugs and quite a
bit of questionable coding.  Lint yells alot too.  In short, it is badly in
need of a rewrite.  It's a miracle it runs on the VAX.
(To be fair, Robert is not the sole author.)

I'm not sure how the version of arc I use on my ST corresponds to the version
I have source for, but from time to time I've experienced strange
problems with my ST arc (usually two bombs).
