please report bugs to the author.. This will make the program better and
more bugfree.. I bet suggestion will be of great use too!

I've never found the charm in LH/2, I use this lha archiver :

LHarc    for UNIX  V 1.02  Copyright(C) 1989  Y.Tagawa
LHx      for MSDOS V C2.01 Copyright(C) 1990  H.Yoshizaki
LHx(arc) for OSK   V 2.01  Modified     1990  Momozou
LHa      for UNIX  V 1.00  Copyright(C) 1992  Masaru Oki
LHa      for UNIX  V 1.01u Tom Kloos, Jean-Pierre Radley, Greg Roelofs 1992
LHa      for OS/2  V 1.01  Modified     1994  Kim.Heino{at}utu.fi

Might be since my lh/2 archiver is v 2.22 and is pretty old (89), where can
I get a newer one.. ? I now use RAR and InfoZip daily pluss this lha
archiver.
