   Summary: Try newer-version of LHarc/*nix,  maybe 1.02 by Y.Tagawa.  It works

   LHarc v.0.03 is rather older one, I think.  I'm usually using v1.02
   by Y.Tagawa, and it works fine in both unix and minix.

   But in MS-DOS, newer-version of LHarc, LHA is released.  LHA-v2.11
   is released source-codes besides executable one.  Thus, I hope
   new-version for *nix to be released by someone, for if you archive
   some files in LHA, you cannot dearchive by conventional LHarc,
   unless -o parameter (meaning older format).

   Latest verion of LHA in MS-DOS is now 2.12.

From utsun.s.u-tokyo.edu:/fj/lha/ which would appear to be the home of
LHA; I see no sources here.

     This is official release of LHa, the successor to the famous
archiver LHarc.  It is expected to run on any MS-DOS machine.
     `lha210.exe' is in self-extract format.  Execute it and hit `y'.
     Use `lha_e.bat' to obtain `lha_e.exe' (LHa with English message)
from `lha.exe' (Japanese).  `bupdate.exe' is in `bdiff.lzh'.
     English documents are not available yet.
