$'lharc' ???  or better yet...send me a copy???

   I found both the most recent copy of the DOS executable and the Unix
source on a machine somewhere in Japan (sorry, I don't recall its name).
Anyone who would like the DOS version (uuencoded) or the Unix source
(compressed, tarred and uuencoded) is welcome to drop me a note stating
which (or both) they'd like, and I'll send copies to anyone whose return
address works from here.

   Speaking of LHarc, the DOS version said that they were finished with
version 1.x and would be working on version 2; has anyone heard anything
about it yet?

   And some notes for those who aren't familiar with this archiver:  it
produces archives which are generally comparable in size to those made
by PKZIP 1.02.  It tends to do better on smaller files than PKZIP.  Its
self-extraction code is more compact than PKZIP's and includes an option
to run a batch file once the files are all uncompressed (presumably, an
install-type program).  I'd only recommend using LHarc, though, if you
absolutely need the extra compression it can sometimes give or if you
can't get your hands on anything else that runs in more than one environ-
ment, since it is several times slower than PKZIP.
