You need Lharc v1.00, availiable at a comp.sources.misc (i think) archive
site. Another note: when using lharc 1.00 on UN*X, be sure to specify
-g (generic) mode, this stops lharc from saving userid and permissions
in the archive, which is what seems to confuse Amiga versions of lharc.
(Note: on our machine, I changed the source so this is the default, it
is a trivial change, and makes life much easier :)

Hope this helps,
Anthony
