I have uploaded the file `arcs.zip' to ftp.dante.de/incoming.

Description:
This tiny package provides two commands for placing an arc
over/under a short piece of text.
The code comes from my package `metre'. I have repackaged it to
make it more easily available and to allow the commands to be
used within math formulas.

Thanks for the upload. I installed the new package as suggested in
CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/arcs/
As we are trying to move to online PDF documentation, I ran arcs.dtx
through pdflatex and installed the file arcs.pdf as well.
(While I was at it, I also renamed macros/latex/contrib/metre/readme
to macros/latex/contrib/metre/REAME. Thus web browsers will automagically
display this file when entering the directory.)

metre – Support for the work of classicists
The package provides classicists with some of the tools that are
needed for typesetting scholarly publications dealing with Greek
and Latin texts, with special emphasis on Greek verse.
As the package's name suggests, its core is a comprehensive set of
commands for generating metrical schemes and for placing
prosodical marks on text set in the Latin or the Greek alphabet.
The rest of the package provides a miscellany of commands for
symbols (most of them not directly related to metre) that are
often used in critical editions of classical texts.
The package does not require any special font: all symbols are
taken from the Computer Modern fonts (which are included in all
TeX distributions) and the package's commands are based on TeX
primitives.
