ARC was a DOS/BBS format with no Unix support. Converting ARC to TAR makes the archive contents available in the native Unix packaging format for use in Linux environments. This is useful for digital preservation projects that work with vintage software on modern Unix systems.
Our ARC to TAR converter extracts all files from the ARC archive and repackages them as an uncompressed TAR. The resulting TAR is natively compatible with all Unix, Linux, and macOS systems for further processing.
TAR is natively available on all Unix, Linux, and macOS systems via the built-in tar command. On Windows 10 (1803+) and later, tar is included in Command Prompt and PowerShell. TAR preserves Unix file permissions and is foundational to Linux build systems and package management.
