RE: your questions:

UUCP: there has just been published a very good arcticle on the
"worldnet" on the Communications of the ACM explaining the nature of
most (all?) of the large networks in the world. Particularly interesting
is that it describes how mail can be sent across different "networks".
The article is "Notable Computer Networks" by John Quaterman and Josiah
Hoskins. It appeared in the Oct 86 issue of the CACM. 

ARC: Could the Rainbow utility be arc'ed with a more recent release of arc?
arc is known for future update formats not being upward (or is it downward?)
compatible with old releases of arc. By the way, i thought arc, uudecode
and uuencode were msdos or unix tools.. maybe I am confused.

hope this helps,

Jose
