[A message from the author]

Bernie,
 
Uploaded UNARC11:
 
"UNARC is CP/M 2.x+ utility which lists, types and extracts files in 
MS-DOS/PC-DOS archives (*.ARC files).  For Z80's only.  UNARC11 has 
new command syntax for typeout (suggested by Irv Hoff's ADIR change 
to UNARC10), to solve problem when used with a CCP replacement like 
ZCPR.  Also, help display is simpler, COM file is smaller (4k), and 
configured version for RCPM's is supplied.  (Retain UNARC10.INF and 
UNARC10.Z80 from old UNARC10.LBR.)  UNARC11.LBR is 34k, 267 records."
 
Note that you were not the only one (just the first) to have trouble 
with the "T:" syntax in UNARC10... In fact, it seems the ONLY system 
this worked on was plain CP/M 2.2 (and nobody uses that anymore!).  
At any rate, this new release fixes all that.
 
I am amazed at the speed with which the program circulated around the 
country:  It's now being used on many RCPM systems.  (I knew it had
achieved legitimacy when Irv Hoff, of MDM7 fame, called about making 
some changes.)  Thanks again for the upload to SIMTEL-20.
 
In the meantime I am busy working on the companion 'NARC' utility...  
As they say, "Real Soon Now".
 
UNARC11S.LBR contains the two files UNARC11.Z80 (source program)
and UNARC10.INF (technical information), both squeezed.  These were
omitted from the released library, UNARC11.LBR, and are now being
provided separately due to popular demand.  69k, 545 records.

Note from Bernie..

Eventually Bob will split "source and technical description" into an
ARC-file {why not, UNARC can read them and ARC-format is more space-
time saving}. Also be aware, that this 'minor' update has no major
changes in funtionality. It gets rid of the T: device and also gives
a 'patched' version for SYSOPS. So if You were 'happy' with 1.0, no
need to download 1.1!

Rgds,
Bernie.
