I got Fish disk 362 from abcfd20 (a.k.a. 'the new xanth') and it seems
as if it was lharc compressed on an IBM, because all of the directory
seperators are backwards ('\' instead of '/'). So when I unpack it,
no directories are created, just a bunch of wierd files in the root 
directory (i.e. 'foo\bar\readme'). Is the archive corrupt or are they
incompatible? By the way, I did use the -x switch.
