HomeARC

The software package (which for some time was released on a yearly basis) is comprised of 3 CDs—one for installation purposes, one for text, and a third for scanned images of illustrated publications. The program also served a number of other purposes including stripping RTF files of originator-identifying properties and assisting with PGP encryption tasks. However, it did not work with any OS newer than Windows 98, and was never updated to do so as by that time most of the underlying code was more than a decade old and would have required almost a ground-up rewrite. The Family later distributed a large number of pubs (though not as many) on a more recent piece of software called InfoStore, which was programmed by a member in Russia.

Both InfoStore and the HomeArc were never released in a non-sanitized form. All pubs in them had undergone the various "purges".

As of this year, the archive of the HomeArc's content is available on the Family's "members only" website at www.familymembers.com (which is password protected, and employs significant security measures to protect its contents).
