Hello all, I recently ftp'd a few files which ended in the .LZH extension. I'm almost positive that this specifies compression by LHARC, but when I ran LHARC on these files, I kept getting (filename) : unknown compression method (or something like that) (filename) : unknown compression method ... At first I thought it was a fluke, maybe a bad data transfer or wrong CRC or something. But I've been having this problem now with a lot of LZH's. I never used LHARC that much, so my best guess is that I just have an older version of the program. After all, it's not like my LHARC doesn't recognize the new LHARC at all - it knows (what I assume) are the filenames in the archive. So I went looking for LHARC around the usual ftp sites, but the only thing I've found so far is (I believe) a Unix LHARC (?!?). It's usually in a directory called "lharc", but it consists of three files called "part01.Z", "part02.Z", and "patch_sb.doc" (or something like that). I uncompressed the files with no problem, but I can't figure out what to do from there - it mentions something about a Unix LHARC in the program, and there are a bunch of C files... HELP!!! I was looking for a nice 'n easy fix - I've been able to get PKUNZIP, ZOO, ARJ, and all those other progs with just a simple .EXE or .COM extension! Can anybody help me out? Do I have to learn C to put together LHARC? Thanks in advance for any advice, Brian Park bprk_ss@uhura.cc.rochester.edu ps. BTW, I think I'm using v1.14B right now (I think...) If that means anything...
