This unfortunately returns the trivial response 'data', which is the default
when 'find' does not know what it is. 

But I am surprised that no one of the HP+IBMPC user gave the correct answer.
ARC is the standard extension of the ARC compression utility, which exists on
various systems (PC, UNIX, ATARI, etc.) and is public domain. The math.arc
archive I retrieved from hpcvbbs is not corrupt, I have a version
that at least passes the CRC check. The files in it are IMK HP48 RPL and
binaries.
