First off I would like to thank everyone who replied to my query on 
mapping drive letters to directories.  I am using DOS 2.1 so I can't
use the SUBST command, but some kind soul posted something called
whereis which I think will do the job.

The only trouble is I need something called "arc" to de arc it.  I take
it this is some kind of archive program. Is it PD? If so where do I get
a hold of it (hopefully not in arc format :-)).

Once again Thanks in Advance.

P.S. Has anyone else found that MS Quick Basic 2.0 loses local data for
     machine code subroutines when you use the interactive compiler and
     a user library?  Separate compilation works fine.
