- Up to now I have referred to these utilities as simply the "arc utility"
- and the "un-arc utility". I have saved the actual name of the utility
- for last because there is more than 1 "arc" and/or "un-arc" utility.
- Each author has written the utility for the same purpose but each in
- their own way and sometimes the resulting arc files have been incompatible.
-
- The arc utilities (both arc and un-arc) which perform the fastest and are
- the most widespread are those of Phil Katz. His arc programs can easily
- be identified by the letters PK preceding the arc and unarc utility names,
- such as PKARC.EXE (creates the arc file), and PKXARC.EXE (extracts files
- from an arc file).
-
- I won't bother getting into the commands necessary to run each of the arc
- utilities. The commands are provided in the documentation and also appear
- automatically if the programs are executed with no other command line
- parameters.
