Yes, I did on a NCR Tower 32 a few days ago. It compiled without any problem. We run, yet, the SysV.2 version of NCR-Unix. >Every one I've tried here fails to compile lhio.c without error, >apparently because of an incompatibility with .

However, I have a problem with lharc. If you add one or more files to an existing archive (.lzh file) it gets corrupted and is unusable. Fortunately, it leaves a copy of the old .lzh file. Perhaps that is a bug, too ? (In face of the problem mentioned above I WILL call it a feature :-)). Otherwise, i.e. transferring .lzh files to DOS and unpacking it there, it seems to work fine. So, creating the archive once is safe. Doing a table of contents and extraction does work and the files are the same as before lharc-ing. Hope this helps, Norbert. -- Norbert Bladt, Ascom Autelca AG, Worbstr. 201, CH-3073 Guemligen, Switzerland Phone: +41 31 52 92 14 EMail: ..!uunet!mcsun!chx400!hslrswi!aut!nbladt -- Norbert Bladt, Ascom Autelca AG, Worbstr. 201, CH-3073 Guemligen, Switzerland Phone: +41 31 52 92 14 EMail: ..!uunet!mcsun!chx400!hslrswi!aut!nbladt
