(zoo works but every byte counts at 2400 baud) Yes, there was a source patch posted to alt.sources to make a Unix lharc identified as 1.02 create Amiga readable archives when given an "A" modifier in the command string. I'm using it with complete success under BSD 4.3. The archive compressed in Amiga readable .lzh format is about 60K bytes, so I don't want to put it up here, and it isn't really Amiga software, so sending it to Tad isn't right, or really mine, so posting it to one of the usual sources groups isn't right (although I did retrofit the manual back into nroff input form from its plain ASCII form). Any suggestions where I should post this as a uuencoded .lzh file, or are there few enough interested people that mailing it would be right? I'm pretty sure this file will unpack on your Unix system with your existing lharc. Kent, the man from xanth.
