LZ is buggy, but fast. You should only use it for dearc'ing and use LHArc1.3 
for everything else.

WHAT? Didn't quite get this, but I assume that you arc'ed the file on Unix and
tried to dearc it on Amiga(?). Unless you have an LHARC program on Unix which
has generic compatibility(for protection bits) you can't do it (easily).
