  That's happening because there is an unfortunate "double-standard"
(forgive the pun) with LHARC - i.e. two standards exist.  My best advice
is for you to get LHARC060 (Jon Webb & Bart Van Herk) and
LZH11319 (Haruyashu Yoshizaki) - if one doesn't work I can about 99%
guarantee you the other one will (I've run into the same problem
before).  You can find both files at atari.archive.umich.edu in
the /atari/archivers directory.  And I'd recommend getting ARCSHL25 as
well - it lets you set up a Main and Secondary choices for the LZH (as
well as ARC) programs - that way you could switch between them rather
easily.

  Maybe one of these guys will come up with a version that handles
BOTH standards (A "dual" standard program)...
