›››››     ›      Documentation for SUPER ARC version 2.0 and SUPER UN-ARC version 2.3›                            By: Robert Puff  11/21/88›     ›                                  WHAT IS ARC?›     ›            Arc is short for Archive. It is a program (actually in this›     case, two programs) that allow you to "Archive" or compress one or›     more files into a single .ARC file for later retrieval.  Arc is›     available for many computer types; a file created on one will be able›     to be unarced on another.  The only exception to this that I am aware›     of is the CP/M version of Arc for the Commodore.  Super Arc uses›     several mathematical compression techniques to reduce the size of the›     data to be compacted by as much as possible.  "Why would you do that"›     you ask?  A number of reasons, but primarily Time - Time is money.›     This can be realized when downloading a file from a long-distance›     BBS, or from a pay service such as CompuServe or GEnie.  Super Arc›     will compact your file(s) as much as it possibly can, which averages›     around 30%.  As a bonus, Super Un-Arc will uncrunch files created›     with AlfCrunch, so separate programs are not required!  Also included›     in Super Un-Arc is the code necessary to un-squash files.  Squashed›     files are created by Phil Katz's PKPAK utility for the PC.  This›     makes Super Un-Arc THE most compatible unarchiver for the 8-bit!  You›     must, however have an expanded machine for this feature.›     ›            Arc is not the same thing as Diskcomm (Disk Communicator, a›     program I wrote back in '87.).  Diskcomm is designed to compact›     entire floppy disks sector-by-sector, making an exact copy of the›     disk; while Arc is file-oriented.  What this all means is if you have›     a disk that is self booting, or looks for data in specific sectors,›     you should use Diskcomm to turn that disk into a file for easy›     transfer.  If however, you wish to transfer only a few of the files›     on the disk, or the files on the disk are not dependent on being›     specifically located at a certain sector, then Arc is the program to›     use.  Please remember that Disk Operating Systems (DOS) look for›     specific sectors, so they should NOT be compacted by Arc.  Diskcomm,›     while it does have compaction techniques, is not as sophisticated as›     Arc; so if you REALLY want to make the smallest file of a boot disk,›     you could Arc the Diskcommed file.  Be sure, however, that the person›     receiving your file knows he must go through two processes to recover›     the disk: UnArcing the file, then unDiskcomming the resulting file!›     ›     ›                       SETTING UP SUPER ARC & SUPER UN-ARC›     ›            Both of the files, ARC.COM and UNARC.COM are binary, command›     files.  This means they should be loaded from your DOS menu by›     selecting the LOAD BINARY FILE option.  If you are using a command›     processor DOS (such as DOS XL or SpartaDOS), simply type the first›     part of the filename at the prompt.  If you are using Atari DOS 2.5›     with the RAMdisk handler, you will need to do a little more in›     set-up.  Go to your DOS menu, and do the following:›     1. [C]opy DOS25.MOD,ARC.OBJ›     2. [C]opy DOS25.MOD,UNARC.OBJ›››››››››››››     3. [C]opy ARC.COM,ARC.OBJ/A›     4. [C]opy UNARC.COM,UNARC.OBJ/A›     What you have just done is added a patch to the beginning of Arc &›     Unarc, to fix a bug in DOS 2.5.  Use the ARC.OBJ and UNARC.OBJ files›     now; both ARC.COM and UNARC.COM may be deleted.›     ›            You may wish to set up Super Arc & UnArc on a separate disk›     with a menu program.  There are many public domain menu programs that›     will fit the bill; just be sure the loader program is capable of›     loading Binary files, not (just) BASIC programs.  Super Arc & UnArc›     will automatically disable the internal BASIC on XL/XE machines, so›     there is no NEED to hold the OPTION key when booting.  (SpartaDOS is›     the only exception to this rule: because of a bug, BASIC will not be›     turned off.)  Technical note: Super Arc & UnArc initially load in at›     $6F00, then relocate themselves to LOMEM.  Thus there is no conflict›     with a certain value of lomem.  If the size between LOMEM and HIMEM›     is insufficient, the program will print the message "NOT ENOUGH›     MEMORY" and exit.›     ›     ›                                 USING SUPER ARC›     ›            Once the program has loaded, you will be presented with a›     number of parameters on the top of the screen, and a menu.  (If you›     are using a command processor DOS, you may specify commands on the›     command line as an alternative of using the menu.  Please see the›     section below entitled 'USING SUPER ARC WITH CP DOSES'.)  First, the›     parameters will be discussed.  To modify them, press [P], then use›     the arrow keys to move to the desired parameter. Now hit [RETURN] to›     toggle between YES and NO.  Press [ESC] when finished.›     ›            Screen Off:  If this option is enabled, the screen will narrow›     to a single status line in the middle of your screen during the›     compaction process.  This will increase processing time by 30%.  If›     there is a need for more user-input, or if any errors occur, the›     screen will be restored.  If this option is set to NO, the screen›     will remain unchanged.›     ›            Disk Swaps:  This option is for single-drive users.  If this›     option is enabled, you may use a different disk as your destination›     (using the same drive).  This is helpful when the source and›     destination will not all fit on one disk.  Make sure that your source›     and destination disks are formatted in the same density!  Also,›     follow the prompts VERY carefully.  If this option is set to NO, or›     if you specify different source and destination drives, you will not›     be prompted.›     ›            Compact with Query:  If this option is set to YES, as Super›     Arc finds each file, you will be asked if you wish to compact it.›     This is useful for selecting exactly which files on a disk you want›     to include in the archive.  At the prompt, you may answer [Y]es to›     compact the file, [N]o to skip it, [P] to change the source›     drive/mask, [1-9] for disk directories, or [ESC] to finish arcing.›     If this option is set to NO, all files found will be compacted.›››››››››››››     ›            Crunch Only:  A brief explanation of the arcing process is in›     order here.  When you compress a file with Super Arc when this option›     is set to NO (it defaults to NO), the program first analyzes the data›     in the first pass to determine which of the three types of›     compression would create the smallest file.  The three types are:›     Storing, where no compaction is done; Packing, where repeated bytes›     are "packed", and Crunched, where the data is run through a›     sophisticated compressing routine.  It then reads the source a second›     time, actually compacting the data this time.  The "Crunching" method›     of compaction is usually the method used most often (perhaps 90%).›     If this option is set to YES, Super Unarc will not analyze the file;›     it will only Crunch it.  This takes only 1/2 the time, since the›     compaction process is done only once instead of twice.  The›     disadvantage is that on those files that will not benefit from›     Crunching, you will not have the smallest possible file.›     High-resolution picture files usually fall into this category.›     ›     Special note for SpartaDOS users: If you set the Crunch Only option›     to YES, Super Arc will initially crunch the data, but if it›     determines that Crunching is not the best, it will re-write the file›     using the best method.  This may seem to be the best of both worlds;›     however, the file will still be the same length.  If you add more›     files to the archive, the unused space will disappear.  What this all›     means is that if you want the smallest file possible, leave this›     option set to NO.  If you want to do it quick, and aren't too›     concerned with size, set this to YES.›     ›            Password Encrypt:  Setting this option to YES will cause the›     arced file to be encrypted with a special password you enter.  The›     only way to recover the file created will be if the person unarcing›     your file enters the same password you used.  I STRONGLY recommend›     you not use this feature often, because it is HIGHLY unlikely you›     will be able to recover the file without it.  The password is not›     hidden anywhere in the file, so you can't look for it.  When this›     option is set to YES, Super Arc will ask for the password after you›     have entered the destination filename.  Pressing [RETURN] will cancel›     the password, and continue as normal.  The password is not case or›     inverse sensitive, but should not contain any spaces if you wish to›     use an IBM or ST to unarc the file.  Setting this Password Encrypt›     option to NO (as it is by default) will not use any password data,›     and will compact as normal.›     ›            Those are the parameters that are on the top of the screen.›     On the main menu, there are more options.  You may format a floppy or›     RAMdisk in either single or double density by typing [F].  Selecting›     [D] will allow you to delete file(s).  You may use these two options›     to prepare your destination disk for the destination file.›     ›            Selecting [G] will cause your computer to reboot (act as if it›     had been turned off, then back on).  This is helpful for preserving›     the contents of RAMdisks when switching programs.  For XL/XE users:›     remember to hold [OPTION] down while pressing [G] if you want to›     reboot without internal BASIC.›››››››››››››     ›            Pressing [H] will return you to your DOS menu, or to the›     command processor if you are using a command processor DOS.›     ›            Disk directories may be done by pressing the drive number›     (1-9), then entering the subdirectory pathname to view.  Simply hit›     [RETURN] here to view the main directory.  Disk directories may be›     also done at the "Enter Source Filemask" prompt, and the Compact with›     Query prompts.›     ›     ›                                HOW TO ARC A FILE›     ›            Change any parameters you wish in the top box, then type [A]›     to Arc file(s).  Super Arc will now ask you for the destination›     filename.  ".ARC" will be added to the filename specified, so you do›     not need to specify the extender.  Type the drive identifier and›     filename. (Examples: D2:TESTER, D6:FILES>SAMPLE)  Drive 1 (D:) will›     be assumed of no "Dx:" is specified.  The program will now open that›     destination file.›     ›            Now you will be prompted for the "Source Filemask".  Super Arc›     is now asking you which file(s) you want to put into this single›     destination file.  If you wanted to arc all files on drive 1, you›     would enter "D1:*.*" [RETURN]. To arc only the file "TEST.BAS" on›     drive 2, you would enter "D2:TEST.BAS" [RETURN].  This is basically›     the same as entering the source when using the copy file feature of›     your DOS.  Subdirectories are supported!  To arc all files ending›     with .COM on drive 3 subdirectory MOD, use "D3:MOD>*.COM" [RETURN].›     ›            If you set the Compact with Query option to YES, the program›     will display each filename it finds, and ask you if you want to arc›     it or not.›     ›            The compacting process will now begin.  If the Crunch Only›     option is set to YES, the number of bytes saved will be displayed›     after the file was compacted.  Otherwise, the resulting size of each›     compacting process would occupy will be displayed, along with which›     of the three types Super Arc chose.  If the Screen Off option is set›     to YES (as it is by default), you will just see the message›     "Compacting xxx".  Your screen will be restored after it is done.›     ›            Note for SpartaDOS users:  Super Arc will save the time and›     date of each file automatically.  If the source is not in Sparta›     format, or if using any other DOS, the date of 09/01/88 and time of›     12:00 PM will be saved.›     ›            After the file(s) have been compacted, you will be prompted›     for the source filemask again.  If you have any more files to add,›     enter them now.  Otherwise, press [RETURN], and your archive will be›     complete!  If you ever get a disk error while arcing, the destination›     file should be deleted.  It will not have meaningful data.›     ›            If you have an arced file, but want to add some more files to›››››››››››››     it, you may use the [B] function from the menu, Add to an Archive.›     This functions identically to arcing a file from scratch, except the›     data will be added to the destination file you specify.  Be sure your›     destination disk has as many sectors free as the length of the Arc›     file to which you are adding, because Super Arc must copy the›     contents of that file into another temporary file to properly append.›     The temporary file is then deleted.  If there are any problems adding›     to an arced file (such as if the file you are adding to is not in Arc›     format), the message "Cannot add to file" will be displayed.›     ›     ›                          USING SUPER ARC WITH CP DOSES›     ›            You may invoke Super Arc to perform certain functions without›     having to use the menu when using Command Processor DOSes such as DOS›     XL and SpartaDOS.  Super Arc will return to the CP after it is done,›     or upon an error.  The following is the proper syntax:›     ›     [Dn:]ARC [Dn:][path>]filename[.ext] Dn:[path>]source [/ACPQSX]›     [password]›     ›            The first parameter is the destination filename.  Remember›     .ARC will be added to it if you do not specify an extender.  The›     second parameter is the source filemask, and the third optional field›     is the options desired:›     A = Add to the existing source archive›     C = Use Crunch only (with SpartaDOS, this isn't really what it means:›     re-read the section on Crunch Only for explanation)›     P = Use the fourth parameter as an encryption password›     Q = Compact with query›     S = Have screen remain fully on›     X = Enable Disk Swaps›     ›            The default (no third parameter field) is: Screen Off-YES,›     Disk Swaps-NO, Compact with Query-NO, Crunch Only-NO, Password-NO.›     The fourth parameter is only used if the password [/P] is specified.›     Some examples:›     ›     [Dn:]ARC D2:TEST D3:*.BAS /QSC›     ›            Will ask you if you want to arc each file on drive 3 ending›     with .BAS, leaving the screen on, and enabling the Crunch Only›     option.  It will write the result to D2:TEST.ARC.›     ›     [Dn:]ARC TEST MYFILE.OBJ /P DATA›     ›            Will compact file MYFILE.OBJ on the current drive, and write›     the destination to the file TEST.ARC on the current drive.  It will›     use the word "DATA" as a password.›     ›     [Dn:]ARC D1:TEST2 D3:*.* /AC›     ›            Will arc all files on drive 3, and add them to the already›     existing file TEST2.ARC on drive 1.  It will enable the Crunch Only›››››››››››››     option.›     ›     ›                               USING SUPER UN-ARC›     ›            Super Un-Arc operates much like Super Arc, except it is doing›     the opposite - Taking a single source, and writing out one or more›     destination files.  The following is a list of the parameters in the›     top box of Super Un-Arc.  To save space, refer back to the parameter›     section of Super Arc for some of these.›     ›            Screen Off:  (same as in Super Arc).›     ›            Disk Swaps:  (same as in Super Arc).›     ›            Over-Write:  This is a safety feature.  If a file already›     exists in the directory you have specified with the same name as the›     file being uncompacted, Super Arc will ask you if you want to›     overwrite your existing file.  Typing [Y] will overwrite it; pressing›     [N] or [RETURN] will skip the file and proceed to the next entry.›     Pressing [ESC] will abort the unarcing process.  All the above will›     take place if the Over-Write option is set to NO.  Setting it to YES›     will not prompt you, and will overwrite any files having the same›     name.›     ›            Extract with Query:  If this option is set to YES, the program›     will display each entry in the arced file, and ask you if you wish to›     uncompact it.  This is handy for viewing just the text files in an›     archive.  Setting this option to NO will extract all files.›     ›            Time/Date Stamp:  This option is valid only under SpartaDOS.›     Setting this option to YES will cause the destination files to be›     written out with the original time and date of the file when it was›     first Archived.  Some arc programs do not save the time and date, so›     if you get a bogus value, you know why.  If this option is set to NO›     (as it is by default), the current time and date will be used.›     ›            Password Encrypt:  This option is to be used when the source›     file has been encrypted with a password.  If this option is set to›     YES, you will be asked for the password after entering the›     destination pathname.  Pressing [RETURN] will disable the password›     (incase you inadvertently turned it on).  The password can be 1-20›     characters long, and is not inverse or case sensitive.  If you use›     the wrong password, you may get a "File is Corrupted" message, but›     the destination file will be corrupted.›     ›            As with Super Arc, the [D]elete, [F]ormat, [G] Reboot, [H]›     Return to DOS, and [1-9] directories function just as in Super Arc.›     See the section entitled 'Using Super Un-Arc with CP DOSes' for›     information concerning passing parameters to Super Un-Arc.›     ›            You may view the contents of an arced file by typing [V].›     Enter the source filename.  ".A??" is added to the end of the source›     filename you enter, so if the extender is .ARC or .ALF (for Arc and›››››››››››››     AlfCrunch, respectively), the file will be read.›     ›     ** PLEASE NOTE IF THE SOURCE FILE HAS NO EXTENDER, ADD A [.] PERIOD›     AFTER THE SOURCE FILENAME! **›     ›     This means if you have a file on drive 3 named TEST (no extender),›     you should enter "D3:TEST.".  If the file was named TEST.ARC, then›     you would only have to enter "D3:TEST".  When viewing a file, each›     filename, compaction method, and expanded sector size (in›     single-density sectors) will be shown.  The total number of single or›     enhanced density free sectors needed to uncompact all the files will›     be displayed at the end.  When using double-density, divide the›     counts by 2 (approximately).›     ›     ›                               HOW TO UNARC A FILE›     ›            To un-arc or un-alfcrunch a file, first change any parameters›     you wish in the top box; then type [A].  Enter the source filename›     (and extender if it is not .ARC or .ALF - see the paragraph on›     [V]iewing files for information on the source filename).  If the file›     is not found, an "Error 170" will result.  You may then use the›     directory functions to locate the correct name, and try again.›     ›            You will now be prompted for "The destination pathname or›     drive # (& mask)".  Entering data at this prompt will do two things:›     it will tell Super Un-Arc where to put the destination file(s), and›     it will also tell which files you wish to recover.  If you wanted to›     extract all files and place them on drive 2, you would simply press›     [2] and [RETURN].  If you wanted to place them in a subdirectory›     called "SUBDIR" on drive 3, you would use "D3:SUBDIR>".  You may also›     use "E:" to make the output go to the screen (for viewing text files:›     use Control 1 to start and stop), or P: to route the output to your›     printer.  Using "N:" will extract each file, but throw away the data›     (N for Null device).  The use for this feature is to test the›     integrity of the source file (to see if there might be some bad bytes›     in it).›     ›            Also with this prompt, you may select which files to extract›     from the archive file.  For example, if you viewed a sample arc file›     and found two .DOC files, you could print them out by unarcing to›     "P:*.DOC".  The same thing applies to disk files; to extract all›     files ending with .BAS in an archive to drive 1, use "D1:*.BAS".›     (Just "D1:" by itself will extract all files.)  Wild cards are not›     necessary; if you wanted to extract a single file, you could just›     type in that filename after the destination drive identifier.  So›     there are two ways to extract certain files: enable the Extract with›     Query option, and/or specify the filespec when entering the›     destination filemask.›     ›            The uncompressing process will now begin.  Each filename,›     compression type, uncompacted length in single-density sectors, and›     the number of bytes saved by the compaction will be displayed.  If›     you specified a subdirectory for the destination and it is not found,›››››››››››››     Super Un-Arc will ask you if you wish to create the directory.›     Subdirectories are supported for MYDOS and SpartaDOS.  If a file›     exists on your destination with the same name as the one you are›     about to uncompact, the program will ask you if you wish to overwrite›     the file ONLY IF the Over-write option is set to NO.›     ›            If you have turned on the "Extract with Query" option, the›     program will prompt you if you wish to extract the file displayed.›     Pressing [Y] will extract it, [N] will skip and go to the next entry,›     [P] will allow you to change the destination drive number/path/mask,›     [1-9] will allow you disk directories, and [ESC] will terminate the›     un-arcing process.›     ›            If Super Un-Arc has a problem opening up the destination file,›     you will be given an error recovery menu.  This will allow you to›     change the destination drive number/path/mask, and do directories.›     If you gave the wrong drive number, or your destination was›     write-protected, you can fix it here, then press [RETURN] to›     continue.  If you wish to bail out, press [ESC].›     ›            If you have the "Screen Off" set to yes (as it is by default),›     you will only see each filename as it uncompacts.  If you have the›     "Disk Swaps" set to yes, the screen will remain on, so that you can›     see when to insert the proper disk.  If the screen is "off" and you›     wish to turn it on, Press [SPACE].  When Super Un-Arc extracts the›     next file, the screen will be restored.›     ›            The uncompressing process will continue until completion or a›     major error.  If you get the message "File fails CRC check", that›     file is corrupted and should probably be discarded.  The version 1.2›     of Arc program written by Ralph Walden had a bug that caused this to›     occur quite often, sometimes because it DID put bad bytes in the›     file, other times not.  If you see a file that was "Squeezed" with a›     CRC error, it was probably caused by this 1.2 Arc program - Use the›     file at your own risk.  If you get CRC errors on any other type of›     compacted file, the files ARE bad!  If the CRC error is followed by›     the messages "Not an ARC or ALFCRUNCH file" or "File is corrupted",›     the source file is bad.  You may occasionally get the message "Not an›     ARC or ALFCRUNCH file" at the end of uncompacting an AlfCrunch file.›     This is due to extra bytes at the end of the file caused by improper›     X-modem routines; but all the file(s) will be intact.›     ›            Super Un-Arc 2.3 now supports un-squashing, a method do›     compaction recently introduced by IBM, ST, and commodore computers.›     This new method of compaction requires 16K of additional memory;›     memory that is really not available on the standard 8-bit Atari.›     However, if you have a 130XE, upgraded 800XL, or an Axlon-compatible›     upgraded 800, the last bank of extra memory in these machines will be›     used.  Un-squashing is totally automatic - it is used just like the›     other methods.  If you do not have any extra memory, and you try to›     unarc a file that was squashed, the program will give you the message›     "You need >=128K to unsquash", and will end.›     ›            When viewing or uncompressing a file, Super Un-Arc verifies›››››››››››››     that the file was indeed created by Arc or AlfCrunch.  If it is not,›     it checks to see if the source file was compacted with Diskcomm, or›     is a binary file.  It will report what it finds, or "Not an Arc or›     AlfCrunch file" is it cannot determine.  If there are any garbage›     bytes at the beginning of the file (caused by older terminal›     programs), the program will search ahead to find the true start.›     ›     ›                        USING SUPER UN-ARC WITH CP DOSES›     ›            As in Super Arc, the program supports parameter passing with›     command processor DOSes such as DOS XL and SpartaDOS.  If there are›     no parameters specified, or if they are in an improper syntax, the›     program will ignore them, and display the menu.  This is the proper›     syntax for Super Unarc:›     ›     [Dn:]UNARC [Dn:][path>]filename[.ext] Dn:[path>][mask] [/OPQSTX]›     [password]›     ›            The first parameter is the source file (remember ".A??" will›     be added to the name, so specify the extender if it does not begin›     with .A), the second is the destination drive number, or path (and›     mask), and the third optional parameter is the options desired:›     O = Over-Write set to YES, will overwrite any file with the same name›     as the destination›     P = Use a encryption password (the fourth parameter, which is only›     used with this option)›     Q = Extract files with Query set to YES›     S = Have screen remain full during uncompaction›     T = Use time/date stamp from source file when writing destination›     files›     X = Disk Swaps set to YES, for single drive users›     ›            You may specify none, any, or all (in any order).  The default›     without any options is: Screen Off:YES, Disk Swaps:NO, Over-Write:NO,›     Extract with Query:NO, Time/Date stamp:NO, Password encrypt:NO.  The›     fourth parameter is only used if the password [/P] is enabled.  Some›     examples:›     ›     [Dn:]UNARC D2:TEST 3 /QS›     ›            Will uncompact the file D2:TEST.A?? to drive 3, extract with›     query, and have the screen remain on.›     ›     [Dn:]UNARC TEST.JNK P:*.DOC /P DATA›     ›            Will uncompact all .DOC files to the printer from the file›     TEST.JNK on the current drive.  It will use the word "DATA" as the›     password to unencrypt the archive.›     ›     [Dn:]UNARC D7:MOD>MYFILE N:›     ›            Will verify the integrity of the file MYFILE.A?? in the›     subdirectory MOD of drive 7.›››››››››››››     ›     ›                                CLOSING COMMENTS›     ›            I had originally desired to put both Arc and Unarc programs›     into one, but due to memory constrictions, this was not possible.›     Both programs require tables over 16K in length, so it leaves little›     for the program itself.  In fact, if you use Super Arc or Un-Arc with›     a cartridge installed, you will have VERY small I/O buffers.›     ›            I would like to take the time to thank all the people who have›     helped by debugging, giving hints, etc, but this file would be 10K›     longer! :-)  However, a special thanks goes out to all GEnie users,›     who helped test these two programs, and to Frank Walters, for his›     intensive de-bugging efforts!  Also a special thanks to Glenn Garman,›     who makes sure everyone can understand my documentation!›     ›            A good deal of time has been spent on these programs - much›     longer than I intended.  The public domain, however, needed a good›     Arc and Unarc program.  So I have released this program as Shareware.›     What this means is that you may use it as you like, and give it to›     your friends, clubs, etc, without cost.  However, I would ask that›     you consider the time and effort involved in creating a program such›     as this.  Making it compatible with all DOSes was no small feat!  If›     you enjoy the program, consider sending a token of your appreciation.›     This will provide incentives for me to keep updating and writing›     other quality utilities for the Atari 8-bit.

If there is›     not enough room between LOMEM and HIMEM, the programs will display an›     out-of-memory message, end exit.  The remainder of memory from the›     end of the program to HIMEM is used by input/output buffers; the›     bigger the buffer the faster the program will run.  (Super Arc will›     just fit when a cartridge is present.)  Built-in BASIC will be›     disabled automatically, unless SpartaDOS is detected.  The programs›     detect Sparta by looking for a "S" in location $0700.›     ›››››››››››››            A graphics 0 call is made when the program exits, to maintain›     compatibility with programs that play with the display list such as›     TDLINE.  Screen memory is saved, so the data on the screen is›     preserved.  If you wish to include Super Arc & UnArc in specific›     application software (such as a graphical Operating System), please›     get in touch with me, as small modifications to the program could be›     easily done.›     ›            If you are using MYDOS version 4.0 thru 4.3C, you may wish to›     upgrade to version 4.4.  Super Arc & UnArc will work correctly with›     the older versions, but certain functions will be much slower. The›     new version 4.4 of the DOS at the time of this writing is about to be›     released to the public domain, so obtaining the new version should›     not be a problem.›     ›            Both Super Arc & UnArc support three delimiters for separating›     subdirectory names: The colon [:], the greater-than sign [>], and the›     backslash [\].›     ›     Bob Puff  11/21/88›     ›     P.S. A version 2.1 of UnArc managed to sneek out the same time a›     small bug in the program was discovered.  Also, version 2.2 of UnArc›     had a bug in uncompacting very large squeezed files.  If you have or›     see this version, or any earlier version of this program for that›     matter, please delete them.›     ›     ››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››››
