	I tried using a shell (arcshell2.5) but gave up because anytime you
specified more than just "extract" or "list", it would get lharc confused and
it would think you were looking for "xs.lzh" instead of using it as the command
which allows "extract" and "hold screen".  I gave up using the shell and now
use lharc from the ttp command line.  If you are using a shell, try removing
the "extras" that you can do with it and just have it "extract".  It might 
clear up the problem.  Or if you want to use the command line, just look in
the docs that should come with the lharc - it should have the commands in an
English (and German) doc.  If you want, "x <filename>" should unarc just fine
from the command line (clicking on the ttp file).

I think the latest lharc out is lzh11319.lzh (that's funny - it's lharced!)
and it's up on atari.archive.  BTW, what was/is the difference between lzh11316
and lzh11319?  I can't read German or I might have gotten it from the docs...
