This is not true.
I just download it and compile and test-run it.

Please try 'lharc a filename */*'
           'lharc a filename */*/*'
             ...             */*/*/*... add as many levels as you wish.

You will find out it works as beautiful as 'ZOO' and the compressed file posses
1/3 less space than 'ZOO' scheme.
