Okay, now I'm seeing the problem. I'll poke around with it.

Edit:

Looks like you're right: .arc is recognized as an archive-mode file. This snippet should fix it:

  (let* ((mode (rassoc 'archive-mode auto-mode-alist))
         (str (car mode)))
    (string-match "[Aa][Rr][Cc]\\\\|" str)
    (setcar mode (replace-match "" nil nil str)))
I've added this to arc.el.

So it's not sufficient to add the new arc.el, you have to remove the existing association also? I would think that once a match is found in the auto-mode-alist, it wouldn't consider the other entries.

BTW I started a thread on gnu.emacs.help, but if the above fixes it, it's moot.

Well, I added the above code to arc.el, so it should automatically disassociate *.arc with archive-mode.

Okay, this didn't actually solve it. This should, though: http://arclanguage.org/item?id=4548.
