 I've been getting interesting behaviour. I installed UNIX lharc v1.00
on the SUN-3 here and have been trying to work with it.

 I made created an .lzh archive on the SUN. UNIX lharc retrieves files
from that archive with no problem. Problem: files transferred to the
Amiga keep on generating CRC errors and garbage when decompressed using
ANY of the Amiga un-Lharc'ing programs.

 However, files on AB20, when transferred to the SUN, get decompressed
with no problem, and when transferred to the Amiga using the same method
as the SUN-generated archives decompress fine.

 So the UNIX lharc archives seem to be a superset of the amiga .lzh archives
which Amiga lharc programs can't handle.

 If the authors of the amiga programs would like, I can email them either
the UNIX lharc source, a UNIX .lzh archive, or both, so they can resolve
this problem.

 Please e-mail the response since I basically often miss a lot of stuff
in this group with (c)atchup, or else follow-up to c.s.a.tech if you
think it's appropriate.

 It looks like maybe something got lost in the translation. The question
is: is it the UNIX or Amiga versions which are incorrect?
