In the following URL:
http://utter.chaos.org.uk/~pdh/software/checkweb.htm

I downloaded !CheckWeb, but cannot find any de-crypting software that
will de-crypt it.

It downloaded as a URL filetype, but the extension was '/arc'. I have
filetyped it to 'Archive' and to 'Zip'.

Have tried ARCFS(read), SparkFS, Spark, InfoZip, but none of them like
it.

Any ideas anyone?

If anyone can manage it, could they send it to me please.

The more information you have, the more likely it is to be wrong

It's got 240 bytes of nulls at the start of the file. Load it into a
decent editor and delete them. Then use SparkFS (I used nspark, a
command line utility).
The resulting absolute file is from 1996 so not 32 bit compliant!
