Arc2Arc is a universal archive converter.

Unlike the typical lha -> lzx converters you can configure this one to
convert to and from any archive format you like.
Examples: gz to zip, tgz to lha, lzx to lha (of course :-)) or even dms
to lha!

Arc2Arc uses the standard List syntax when specifying archive files. This
means wildcard support and the ALL/S, PAT/K, etc keywords.
It's also possible to convert different archive formats in one go. Like
converting all zip and lha files in a directory to lzx.

Arc2Arc also copies any filenote from the original archive to the new.
Also it automatically converts any dots in new archive names to
underscores to make sure the correct suffix is added by the archiver and
hyphenates any spaces in archive filenames.

2.7 - Bugfix: Converting files in current dir failed.
      Added AmigaDOS dms2dir script.
      Added support for most of the c:List file selection options.    
      Added much better error handling.
2.8 - Fixed all problems with spaces in path/filenames (Javier de las
      Rivas).
      Removed the file renaming system if an archive was about to be 
      overwritten. Now it prompts with an 'Overwrite [y/N]'.
      Moved configuration section to an external file.  
      Made it possible to 'translate' Arc2Arc (Javier de las Rivas).
      Dots in new archive names are now translated to underscores instead
      of being removed.
