If you have the wrong version of LHarc, you indeed need several versions.
Before releasing LZH1.13.20 I tested it with every version of LHarc I could
get. This includes John Webbs LHarc 0.6, several Unix versions, LHA 1.21
and Strunk. In some archives LZH 1.13.20 could not read the crc, but it
is still able to decode the archive.

I WOULD like to send my newest version to the net. But it dosen't work.
Perhaps someone can send me a instruction how to send a binary from
