There must be at least two versions...

(1) There is the version done by Bill Shroka.  He prepared
compatible versions for the Atari and for Unix.  His address is

		uunet!hal.cwru.edu!ncoast!bjsjr

My understanding is that he did this with the support of J. Bammi
while he (Bammi) was still at CWRU.

(2) The software support folks at the Univ of Waterloo seem to have
found one somewhere.  Maybe there is a unix sources group to look at.

(3) Howard Chu announced recently that he is working on a version
of lharc.  I guess this means that he also has source.  Whether or not
it is taylored to unix is another question.

My biggest complaint right now is that there are several slightly
incompatible versions of LHARC.  I would like to see a shakeout
so that I would not have to keep several different versions around.
