We have gotten Lharc to compile on our SYS V unix system. We are running
Interactive Unix 2.2 (SYS V 3.2) 

Usually we have all sorts of trouble getting things to compile but lharc
wasn't so bad. The compiler complained about some stuff (I forgot what
exactly, it was a while back. I think it had something to do with setting
file dates in some function), so we just took out that section and it
compiled right up. It seems to work just fine and is compatible with 
my Amiga at home and the MSDOS version I have here at work. 

I can see if we still have the butchered version on line here and mail it
to anyone who wants to try it out.
