I didn't know there was another tool that can read arc archives. I have
this habbit to search for orphan in owners.list and see if there is
anything I might concider picking up. Since I don't want Fedora users
who happen to have ancient .arc archives to be left without a way to
open them I thought I would pick up arc. Is nomarch cmdline compatible /
could a cmdline wrapper (bash) be written? I ask because I think tools
like mc will searhc for arc when trying to open a .arc no idea what
nautilus will do.

Yes its in decent shape, although it does throw 2 warnings about using
the unscure mktemp function. I think I'll patch those 2 and taken
ownership of arc. Choice is always good and it doesn't seem a lott of
work. If it does turn out to be more effort then its worth it it csn be
orphaned again (not that I'm planning on that).
