Hi,

All versions of arc5.21e, that I have tried so far have a problem in that 
when they decompress a file, arc changes the date to the year 1970.

When I compile maximus here I will see if this problem persists in the source 
archive, or not.

Have any others experience this problem. All nodelists and node-diff's as 
distributed by the ZC5's system are in acr format, and the year of 1970 in 
the decompressed file causes problems with node-diff application.

There is however a utility called nomarch, which does the same job fine, but 
does not suffer the date problem.
