Tom, all ARCs on SIMTEL20 were made with PKARC or PKPAK (the same
program, just a different name after the lawsuit by SEA).  PKPAK is
available from SIMTEL20 as:

     pd1:<msdos.arc-lbr>PK361.EXE

If you cannot extract from the ARCs you downloaded, the most likely
problem is you forgot to use TENEX mode in FTP.  BINARY or IMAGE will
NOT work because SIMTEL20 is a 36-bit machine.  The TENEX mode sorts out
the differences in word size and byte order between your host and
SIMTEL20, and does the right thing to transfer binary files.

Please send comments or questions to me instead of posting them to the
net.
