[some stuff about problems I was having trying to transfer UNIX-made
lharc files and de-archiving them on an Amiga]

I got four good responses from people suggesting possible sources of problem.

Unfortunately none of them seemed to apply so I deleted the .lzh files I'd
made, re-built them and re-transferred them, and they worked! BTW, I don't
think it was an ascii vs. binary transfer problem like somebody else
suggested. I compared the size of the old lharc file and it was SMALLER than
the newer, correct version. If the initial transmission had been doing text
conversion, the CR->CRLF change should have made the first (corrupted) file
larger.

Oh well, the same day a print job I submitted on a different host only had
the odd-numbered (front) pages printed. Bizarre. Maybe it was the phase of
the moon or something :-) :-) :-)

Sorry about troubling everyone.
