Good grief, why not just download the encoded file directly to your CP/M
machine (or copy it to a CP/M diskette, or whatever you intended to do with
the UUDECODED and UNARCed file) and UUDECODE it and UNARC it there?  The whole
purpose of ARC is to make files smaller and therefore faster to download (or
mail across the net), so why defeat it?
