As is? Then it should behave just like the OS-9 version. Please take a 
look at the code to see how I tried to improve file naming on Windows. I 
suppose this could be adapted to Linux fairly easily. All you need to 
know is what characters are forbidden in a file name, and what file 
names, if any, are forbidden.

TC-format archives have either a .ARC or a .TC extension. You'll find 
such archives in the RTSI ftp site (ftp://www.rtsi.com). For instance, 
there are a few of those in /RSDOS/DEMOS/, as well as in /RSDOS/GRAPHICS/.

Note that this format is not the same as the ARC format used on other 
platforms (think PKARC). You'll also find "true" ARC files in the 
Cocodom, because the arc utility had beed ported to OS-9.
