I am using the lharc compression to transfer from pc to unix becuase the
source code to lharc (in C) is available, and I have yet to find the source
for pkzip.  Please execuse my igornance with this news system, this is the
first time I have used it.  So I'm sorry I don't know how to send the unix
end of lharc to you.
