I don't know why the latest version of something would use a terribly
outdated program, but if you are referring to the 'arc' (de)compressor I
still have some files stored in that format.  Probably even have the
original program somewhere.  I think the (MSDOS) exe was called 'lharc'.
Simtel would have it, if the archives are still around at all...

Trouble was all these archivers had funny names for basically the same
techniques, the only variation was how they bundled the files into the
archive file.
