The .arc ( short for Architecture)  files were mostly renamed .cfg 
(short for Configuration).  Although the tool doesn't really care what 
the extension is. I have attached a hopefully fairly generic emc.cfg 
which should work with sim, bridgeport, minimill, stepper etc. I hadn't 
used diagapplet in months so I noticed that some of the modules didnt 
connect to it until I made some mods in the diagapplet and in emcsvr.
I've checked these mods into  CVS if you are really interested.

To run it in one xterm

cd emc
./sim.run

and in another

cd emc

java -jar ~/rcslib/plat/java/lib/diagapplet.jar HierarchyFile=emc.cfg


Lots of features still don't work, mostly because EMC and RCSLIB were 
developed simultaneously and a lot of the EMC modules were developed 
with older RCS methods/conventions. So if there is a particular feature 
you can't get to work, don't be too surprised.
