If you have any problem with any archive and the version 1.13.20 or newer,
why not send it to me. If the archive is not damaged or if it is'nt coded
with LHA 2.xx on a PC, I will adapt my version of LHarc to read this kind
of archives.

If you get an error-message "Unknown method", your archive is packed with
LHA 2.xx on a PC. This is impossible to adapt to the atari st until there
are sources available,

If you get CRC-Errors on many files, you probably have a damaged archive.
You could then try to download it again.
