The main reason for this is the recently posted | lharc 1.13 . Throw it away ! It wont read anything but ST and MS-DOS | lharcs ... there are two reasons for this . The original LHARC that was posted (version 0.73 I believe) was atrocious! Since then, I've seen the buggy UNLZH v. 1.11 and the now better v. 1.14 (numbers might be slightly off, since I'm doing all this from memory -- sory). For the moment, the LHARC.TTP (version 1.13 beta) that Steven Grimm posted w/o any coding other than UUE, is the best working LHARC that I've found on my ST. In addition, it seems to be 100 % compatible with our Unix lharc: C-LHarc for UNIX Version 1.00 (C) 1989-1990 Y.Tagawa, Kai Uwe Rommel All *.LZH files that've come over the comp.{sources|binaries}.atari.st newsgroups have been accepted or rejected by both LHARC v.1.13 beta and C-LHarc v.1.00: lhst113.lzh, minit933.lzh, miniview.lzh, sambin.lzh, samsrc.lzh, unlzh14.lzh, aua_info.lzh, bbs2903.lzh have all been accepted. How come I'm so lucky if others are having such troubles? It took awhile for me to get a valid LHARC.TTP, but now I have one that works. I would wish, though, that someone would improve the syntax. If someone is listing or testing an archive, why do file names *have* to be specified? ARRGH! -- Ralph P.
