After being in danger of using up my disk storage allocaton (primarily
because of downloading from the binaries), I resorted to drastic measures.
No, I did not delete the file.  Rather, I used an utility commonly used in
the IBM-PC (god forbid?) and UNIX part of town:  ARC.  For those unfamiliar
with ARC, it is a file archiving program that is slightly less user-friendly
than those you know (stuffit, packit, etc).  To make a long story short, I
ARCed a 287K .hqx file from comp.binaries.mac.  The resulting file is but a
measly 193K archive.  Needless to say, it made a significant difference, 33%
reduction in this case

It all boils down to this:  is there a port of ARC for the Mac?  Does anyone
intend to do one?  Wouldn't it be kinda neat?

I could see several advantages to having an ARC for the Mac:
	Ease of file transfer between Unix, IBM-PC, and the Mac.
	Reduced storage requirements (obvious).
	Reduced downloading time.
	Conformation to (somewhat of a) standard.

Sorry if I add more confusion to formats.
