What *exactly* do you mean by "overflows"?

If you mean that your command seems to hang when you type it, it means that
the pipe: internal buffer is full.  This buffer is 4k long (it says so in
the 1.3 docs).

Try the following:

1> newcli
1> copy fubar.lzh pipe:l.lzh

[ swap window ]

2> lharc x pipe:l

Disclamier:  I have not tried this but it should work.  The problem may be
that lharc expects a .lzh suffix?

Hope this helps,
Phil
