    Haven't seen it come by here yet.

    When I first got LHarc, it seemed to me this was a program
  crying for optimization. It compresses like a hot damn,
  but it is so slow. I looked around local boards & found some
  IBM source in C & asssembly (Version 1.13c). This is direct
  from Japan I believe. I decided I was _not_ going to learn
  80x86 assembly to port the program.
    Does anybody know another address for the Amiga LHarc author,
  Paolo Zibetti (FidoNet 2:331/101.6)? It would worthwhile to get
  this source out.
    For that matter, does anybody understand the algorithm? I have
  heard it described as modified LZW-Huffman encoding.
