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

ps.  BTW, I think I'm using v1.14B right now (I think...)  If that means
anything...
