Re:   UNARC10.LBR

Bernie,

I have just uploaded UNARC10.LBR -- Yet another ARC File Processor for
CP/M 2.X.  This one combines the functions of ARCDIR and DEARC.  It is
written in Z80 Assembly Language, and supports the latest ARC file
formats.  Special thanks to this board for providing the C Language
sources of MS-DOS ARC, which enabled me to write the program.

Thanks Bob, that was definitely a LONG NEEDED addition to CP/M!  As
discussed, the 'opposite' NARC will be another 'space' and time-saver!

I had only one {minor} problem - since Rainbow's CPM86-80 swallows the
T: since its above the allowed range of supported devices - so I had
to change loc 107 from 20 {T} to 16 {P} - and then use P: to achieve
screen-based listing.  {The error-message was 'slightly' misleading
a'la 'FILE not found' - if it would have repeated the damaged
file-spec, it would have been even faster to correct}.

N.B.  all of the above documented in UNARC10.INF.  Definitely A REAL
addition for SYSOPS too and also a real disk-space and time-saver!

Thanks again to Bob from all of us.

Bernie {waiting for NARC -- Yeah I know, I'm never 'satisfied'..}
