| Sorry Scott, but it looks like you don't have the brains to run LZH201L..:-)
|
Or maybe he has enough brains NOT to run it...

| THe latest version is LZH201L, Note: i is before l...

He said he thought it was the latest version.

| There is a option in LZH201L for problems with incompatible headers,
| it  the   -k  option.

| LZH201L will default to Directory extraction with out setting any options

Whereas ZOO has a clear help page built in which tells you what switches to
use. Didn't you say a few days ago that Zoo has no way of extracting
directory trees? It's all in the help page, Roger.

And I really can't understand Scott's problem either. Here at University I
have a copy of LHA on a Sun 4, which uncompresses all .lzh and .lha files
I have ever come across. We also have ZIP, ARC and ZOO. They're foolproof.
Anyone can use them. I only keep copies of all the different archivers
because people can't agree on one to use. I have to admit though, that if
I find a .lzh archive which I want to take home, I will always convert it
to .zip format first (STZIP is a great program - choice of nice front end
or command line flexibility).

Get a life, people. Just use the archiver which suits you, and stop whinging.
