There is a version of lharc which runs on SysV, but it fails if ints are not 16 bits. If you change all the int statements to short it runs on more machines. Unfortunately that doesn't help the user with a full size 64 bit word, some there's still a problem. There is an unzip for SysV, but it doesn't handle all 1.02 compression methods. Several people are sending me later versions of the programs which may have the problems fixed. -- bill davidsen - davidsen@sixhub.uucp (uunet!crdgw1!sixhub!davidsen) sysop *IX BBS and Public Access UNIX moderator of comp.binaries.ibm.pc "Getting old is bad, but it beats the hell out of the alternative" -anon
