It could always do the later (see some of the examples when you type
"lh /h".

I don't think I'll be adding any features to it.  One of the reasons I
wrote it in the first place was because I felt dizzy when reading arc/zip's
usage screens;  they are way to complicated.

Occasionally I get a call about lh2 (current ver is 2.22),  from someone
demanding the most recent version -- since the version they have from 1993
can't possibly be the latest.  Well it is.  I am not the type of person
that adds features for the sake of making the feature list longer -- on a
free program at that.

Always did.

 TS> and "/" as a path separator. This would make a lot of 

Always did, with the exception that a path can't start with a /.  For example:

Yes:     lh a crap src/*.c
Yes:     lh a crap d:/os2
No :     lh a crap /os2
