Now that Arc 6.02 is out it is time for a new version of
Arcgsh. (For those who do not know about Arcgsh: It is a GEM
program which allows you to call archivers like Arc and Zoo
(and other programs) comfortably using dialog boxes. You do not
have to remember all those single-letter commands and those
even more cryptic options but simply select them from dialog
boxes where they are noted *with* their meaning.)

Those of you who have tried to call Arc 6.02 from Arcgsh will
have noticed that it results in two bombs. Mea culpa. I did not
set up the xArg environment right. This problem never popped up
yet because Arc 6.02 is the first program I called from Arcgsh
that supports xArg. (Zoo claims it supports xArg but it does
not.)

The fix was quite easy but I think I take the opportunity to
fix some other things, too. And then the additional
functionality of Arc 6.02 has to incorporated into the user
interface. These are all more or less trivial things but -
considering my spare time - will take some time.

Whoever of you (registered or unregistered user) needs Arcgsh
*desperatly* to work together with Arc 6.02 may get the current
intermediate release, just drop me a note. Else wait for the
official release in comp.binaries.atari.st.

(Still missing: Sources for Arc 6.02 to get it to work on the
UNIX machines.)
