Hmmm... so far, I have been unsuccessful in getting LHARC v1.13 to read its SFX'es ... it just keeps saying "no file," and I have no idea what that's supposed to mean. There's a program called RV (verson 1.21 is what I've seen) which can strip SFX'es into normal files. It's the only way I'm willing to look at an LHARC SFX. I don't know if it can undo a SEZ file or not. I'm just waiting for someone to upload an uncompressed virial file and claim it was an SFX. --- ...
