    Paul,
    
    I successfully downloaded and deARCed CLUE.ARC, ZOING.ARC, and
    REVERSI.ARC last night.
    
    Took me a few minutes to figure out Clue but once I did I was really
    surprised.  Looks like someone spent some time on this.  The graphics
    are pretty good.
    
    Clue.arc gave me some warnings with ARC22 but it extracted ok anyhow.
    
    Thanks for the effort to make these available.
    
    regards,

372.2You're WelcomeAUTHOR::MACDONALDWA1OMM Listening 224.64Fri Mar 13 1987 20:494
    You are welcome. UEDIT.ARC was also reuploaded using Kermit.
    Very sophisticated editor.

372.3arc22 executableSZOFNA::CBODINEEvery where you go there you areFri Mar 13 1987 22:308
    Could you possibly post ARC22 in executable form. I can't dearc
    anything because I don't have that yet. Thanks in advance and thanks
    for posting those. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on UEDIT.
    Being a new owner of the AMIGA, I just found out how BAD "ED" is.
    Thanks again,
    
    
    Chris 
372.4let me try againSZOFNA::CBODINEEvery where you go there you areMon Mar 16 1987 18:455
    I would like to make another plea for the un-arced copy of ARC22
    to be posted. If anybody has it, I would really appreciate it.
    
    Thanks,
    Chris
372.5How about this?PLDVAX::SMCAFEESteve McAfeeMon Mar 16 1987 19:1111
    
    I happen to have arc16.bin in
    
      ant::bipolar:[smcafee.public]arc16.bin
    
    You can download this and then use it to download arc22.arc.

372.6New AdditionsAUTHOR::MACDONALDWA1OMM Listening 224.64Wed Mar 18 1987 22:5054
AUTHOR::USER:[MACDONALD.PUBLIC.AMIGA]README.TXT    
    
A2000.ARC       A HI-RES B&W picture of the Amiga 2000 created with
		DigiView. (from the March issue of Byte)

ARC22.ARC       The latest version of ARC.

CALENDAR.ARC    A neat Calendar utility.

CHFONT.ARC      A font changer that can be run from your startup-sequence
 		file. Usage is CHFONT newfont_name.FONT

CLUE.ARC        The fabulous who-dunnit game with exceptional graphics.

DISPLAY.ARC     Allows you to display any IFF standard graphics on
  		screen, including HI-RES B&W and HAM.

DUIV.ARC        Slick multifunction directory utility.

LOGO.ARC        An implementation of LOGO for the Amiga.

MORE.ARC        Handy utility for display text files in your current
		CLI window, or from an icon. Let's you know how much
                of the file you've read!

REVERSI.ARC     What would life be without a talking game of REVERSI.

RSLCLK.ARC      My favorite menu bar clock program that allows you
  		to display time, date, free chip and fast ram, free
		disk space and much more. I would recommend resetting
  		the task priority to 0 after running the program. It
		defaults to 20 which can interfere with other programs,
		most notably AmigaBASIC (for some reason).

SHELL_205M.ARC  Drew's Amiga shell program. Gives you the feel of VMS.
                Be sure to download SHELL.DOC and README.205M. 

STARCH.ARC      A nice star chart and constellation identifier containing
                a large database of star information. A "must have"
                educational program.

TILT.ARC        Every Amiga needs this one!

UEDIT.ARC       A rather sophisticated text processor with more
         	commands than Wordstar! Even utilizes the Amiga's
  		voice synthesizer to tell you verbally when errors
		have been made. The CHEAT-SHEET file is a quick
		reference to all the commands and features.

VC.ARC          A reasonable implementation of a spreadsheet that works!

ZOING.ARC       Everyone's favorite. This one uses bouncing heads though!

372.7Problems with MOREKIRK::KYZIVATPaul KyzivatFri Mar 27 1987 15:1912
re .6:

I have tried unsuccessfully to extract MORE from the archive.
I can list the archive, which tells me I have one good component called MORE, 
and another (I think zero length) bad one.  But when I try to extract MORE 
from the archive I always get the Guru.

Frustrating that a program like ARC lets itself be crashed by a garbaged file.

Has anyone succeeded in getting MORE out of the archive?
