while rooting around on compu$erv last nite, i ran across pkunarc.arc
(a stripped-down version of pkxarc for the ST). it claims to unsquash
squashed arcs, though i have not tried it. it was either in "go atari16"
dl 3 or "go midi" dl ? if u want to get it yourself.

if this is old news, sorry. if not, i'll try it out and post here (unless
someone can tell me in 25 words or less how to get it to comp.binaries.atari.st
without bitnet, only uucp). just give me a couple of days...

p.s. it's probably on genie as well (i haven't had time to check)
