I saw a version of Lharc named LH114. But it's Lharc 1.13c with the extension LZH renamed to ICE. The main program now named ICE instead for LHARC. Is that an official release of the lharc-compression program? The difference between ICE.EXE and LHARC.EXE is 10 bytes. I don't think any virus and trojans can take so small place...

I don't think > any virus and trojans can take so small place... I've seen it too; it looks legit. My guess is that Yoshi got threatened by the ARC (tm - my foot) vultures. Of course, I have no evidence to this effect, other than their past record (GSARC -> PAK, PKARC -> PKPAK, SHARC -> SHEZ)... LHARC -> LHICE seems in keeping with that venerable tradition. Either that, or Yoshi doesn't *want* to be associated with the vultures, and switched voluntarily. I don't see why he changed LZH to ICE, though; even SEA would have found LZH acceptable, I would think. --- ... Michael Ho, University of Nebraska <ho@fergvax.unl.edu>

Yesterday there was a posting on one of Toronto's major BBSs that this is **NOT** legit - just someone's idea of a gag... Russ Herman INTERNET: rwh@me.utoronto.ca UUCP: ..uunet!utai!me!rwh
