I have Lharc for UNIX V1.00 Copyright by Y.Tagawa and some other guy.  I got it
from one of the comp.sources groups last March (either .unix or .misc, I don't
remember which)

V1.00 works fine both ways.  There is a bug fix, though.  Basically, just
comment out all the statements that use 'toupper'.  There should be a patch
by now that fixes that, but you never know.  You should be able to find it
at an ftp site that archives comp.sources.(misc|unix).

As an aside, is someone still posting the list of ftp sites that have Amiga
files?  The one I have is 8 months old.  Could someone mail me a recent one?
(If you see this after 1/2/91, disregard, please!  I don't need 1000 copies...)
