Bugs

Arc behaves just like the PC version of the program; all functions of the "usage"  display  are  working.
       Full  compatibility  with  PC  ARC files is maintained, the price for which is that arc doesn't like long
       filenames, and can only archive files with names of up to 12 characters.   It  will  *sometimes*  do  The
       Right Thing with them, but I suggest you put long-winded filenames in a "shar" before arcing them.

       There shouldn't be any problems, (hah!) but if you find any, please send them to me at:

            hyc@hanauma.jpl.nasa.gov

Description

       Reads files from the arc archive srcarc and add them to the arc archive tgtarc.

History

Arc  has  been  in use in the CP/M and MSDOS world for many years.  Thom Henderson developed the original
       version, but it is important to note that arc is based on the  file  compression  theories  developed  by
       Huffman,  Welch, Knott, Knuth, and many other scientists. This implementation is based on version 5.21 of
       the MSDOS program.
