I tried to use lharc 1.13b on my 386PC under MSDOS 4.01,
Mostly, the lharc wors fine, 
but I found that there are some situations where lharc looses the archived data!

1. If I try to append files by "lharc a" to an existing lzh-file, it will 
be crashed. lharc v and lharc x does not find *any* files, (the lhx utility
compains about wrong header, but will find data (lhx -s)

2. There are some files that during archiving phase ("lharc a") are listed
but when you list the archive by lharc v only few files are found!
In the most extreme case only 12 files of 54 was found in the archive.

It lharc badly tested or untrustable or it just me... ???

Ps I tried to look into the lharc source and I am very happy that they
has not used japaneese labels too, the jap-comments are instructive...
