536.0. "verifying arc files" by AUNTB::PRESSLEY () Sat Jun 06 1987 23:24

    When trying to download several arc files
    (bdash.arc,missile.arc,vt100_26.arc) iI received bad header information
    on my amiga.  I thought that something had gone wrong with the transfer
    but then i did $ arc l arcfilename  on the vax and my listing showed
    bad header information.  This seems strange that each arc file I
    listed had bad header information.  Has anyone else experienced
    similar problems?

    Were you able to successfully un-arc the files anyway?  I believe
    that I have gotten that message several times, but the files loaded
    and ran fine anyway.
    
    Sorry you had so much trouble getting ARC running.  As I noted earlier,
    the ARC.BIN that I posted was corrupted.  I've recently moved from
    Worcester, MA to Grafton, MA and the phone lines here are just awful.

    I was unable to unarc the files on my amiga.  In fact I had to do
    a warm reboot because the amiga hung during the unarcing.
