The 'ICE' version of LHARC was a FRAUD, an UNAUTHORIZED hack of lharc 1.13. All that is _known_ about the hack was replacing lzh file extension with the ice extension. I just recently posted a file to one of the groups comp.os.msdos.{misc,apps} (at least, I *think* those groups) that was a series of discussion taken from compuserve concerning this hack. The file can be found on simtel-20 et al in PD1: as the file LH-FRAUD.ARC. If you are using this hacked version, please get this file and read it. -- Mike Castle (Nexus) S087891@UMRVMA.UMR.EDU (preferred) | XEDIT: Emacs mcastle@mcs213k.cs.umr.edu (unix mail-YEACH!)| on a REAL Life is like a clock: You can work constantly, and be right | operating all the time, or not work at all, and be right twice a day. | system. :->
