What I usually do is to edit the file with a binary/hex editor and substitute
another characters in place of the dots. Because the header is under a
checksum, it is necessary to change one of the letters to keep it constant.
Anyway, maybe the new 2.05 version of lharc manages the name problem?

As for the extracting to standard output, if lharc doesn't setmode(1,O_BINARY)
then maybe it could be run from a program that does it before doing a system()
call.
