From time to time, ARC on my ST would throw up 2 bombs!  I seem now to
have located the problem: when a file has an invalid (0) date, the
verbose listing aborts.  This is for both versions of arc: ARC 5.12
and ARC 5.21b.  It seems even to effect a straight listing (-l) in
ARC-5.12.  This bug exists also in the Unix version of ARC 5.12, but
the Unix version of ARC 5.21 produces:

Name          Length    Stowage    SF   Size now  Date       Time    CRC
============  ========  ========  ====  ========  =========  ======  ====
FOO.BAR          12714  Crunched   51%      6263   0 (null) 28   0:31a  c8bb

Whoever has the source to ST ARC, would that person look into this?
It's not unlivable, but it is useful to have some details about what
has been ARCed.  The problem might come about files being archived on
a variety of machines.  Therefore a more robust ARC is due.

Please post the new ARC when done, please!

Thanks,
