Let me add to the discussion and say LZH is the best compression
algorithym I have ever come across.  I have had ZERO programs unlzhing
files.  However, once when I LZH'd a file it was a bad archive.  don't
ask me how..  But now I test my LZHives in UNLZH 1.7 before uploading
to make sure that the LZH is good.  Every time it is.  I think I made
a small error using it that first time which caused an error.

LZH compacts the best.  Until a ZIP with the imploding comes along, we
should stick with LZH.  I think there is a LGS shell which supports LHarc,
so if you can't understand a command line then try that.  


UnLZH1.72 should be THE standard for extracting LZHives.  It works 
cleanly and well.  Try it, available on atari archive.
