993.1And now for something completely differentCAMTWO::ARENDTThu Dec 24 1987 12:2521
        I have experienced similar problems and have also looked into
    this issue.  I have a few questions and observations.
    
    1. What is and where can it be found DBUG.ARC.  Is this perhaps
       a real debugger ie like VMS Debugger (which is dear to my heart)
    
    2. Where can I get the source to CVTARC to create a version of it
       on my VAX.
    
    3. I have also seen two additional formats.
    
     (CEPTOR.ARC)
     Record Format:      Fixed length 128 byte records
     Record attributes:  None

     (VC.ARC)
     Record Format:      Fixed length 512 byte records
     Record attributes:  None

    
     What does CVTARC do to these ?

	It's on mvcad3::user0:[Amiga.FF102]. Don't know how good
	it is cause I haven't unARCed it yet!

	Copy mvcad3::user0:[Amiga.tools]CVTARC.EXE. Then do a
	$ CVT :== $disk:[directory]CVTARC
	$ CVT v arcfile

	to fix the format

	Fixes them just fine.
