A freely distributable "dearcer" for ARC 7.0 is provided by SEA,
called XARC.EXE. Also, one can make self extracting archives.
Someone pointed out to me that the $49.95 price was a limited time
offer, which expired on the 15th of this month. I guess that the price
now is probably more, but one would have to contact SEA (+1 800 899 4732)
to find out.
