Subject: CP/M ARC's renamed to ARKs
In response to a suggestion by Bob Freed <apollo!freed@EDDIE.MIT.EDU>
the author of the CP/M UNARC program, I have renamed *.ARC to *.ARK in
the SIMTEL20 CP/M program archives and on my RCP/M Royal Oak. I will
also be doing the same on the GEnie CP/M RoundTable.
Bob suggested that there would be less confusion about whether
programs were for CP/M or MSDOS. The file structure of ARCs and ARKs
is identical and Bob's UNARC program will automatically deal with
either filetype extension.
Bob is close to releasing his new CP/M ARC/ARK maker program NOAH (as
in NOAH's ARK). Questions about UNARC and NOAH should be directed to
Bob at his new network address (welcome to the network Bob!).
