Almost, but not quite so.  PKXARC (or PKUNPAK or ARC602) will do,
but ARCE is not self-extracting.  My advice for Thomas is to get
PK361.EXE (it will contain PKPAK and PKUNPAK).  You can get it from
Simtel20, or from chyde.uwasa.fi, Vaasa, Finland, by anonymous ftp
from directory /pc/pd2, or from any well-stocked BBS.  And I agree
with Austin that you mght be well-adviced to join the newsgroup
comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d for these matters.
