you can find LHarc 1.00 at xanth.cs.odu.edu (128.82.8.1) in the incoming/amiga
directory.  As far as how it compares with the others, it is a standard
file archiver rather than a disk archiver, and it has most of the features
of zoo, including long file names and (as of 1.00) full path names.
	It is slower than most archivers, but more effective than anything
else like it.  I have a 15 Meg subdirectory of zoo files that is now only
11 meg of .lzh files.
	One important feature of LHarc 1.00 as opposed to zoo is that 
LHarc has an option to recursively archive directories.
