[Coco] RiBB2.02s.arc

[Bob Devries]

Thanks for the heads-up, Curtis

I was looking for 'arc' and had forgotten about 'dearc'.
Running dearc on my file shows a whole bunch of '.ar' files, including 
'ribbsmain.ar'.

However, running 'ar' on that file only reveales packed runtime Basic09 
modules.

Regards, Bob Devries
