Why hasn't anyone translated LZEXE's output from French to English yet?  I
just started playing with it, and ran up against my lack of knowledge of
French.  The readme.eng in the LZEXE91.ZIP file on Simtel says,

"This program was written in French.  The help screen (displayed when
LZEXE is executed without any arguments) is in French and cannot be
hacked into English because it's encrypted, compressed, etc."

Apparently Mr. Bianchi didn't have access to the UNLZEXE program.  I ran
that on LZEXE, COMTOEXE and UPACKEXE, and it unpacked all of them without
any problem.  The text prompts and help screen were then easily accessible.
However, I haven't taken any French, so couldn't translate it myself...
anyone want to volunteer?
