There are at least 3 versions of lharc available for the amiga.  I don't
know much about how good each one is, except that I have used at least
two of them, constantly for a couple of months, and had _no_ problem.

The only problems I have had are using archives that were packed on unix
machines with the protection bits in them (amiga lharc's don't understand
unix protection bits)

I can't wait to get time to try out lz, 'cause its go the great lharc
compression with speed.
