Several things concerning the anonymous ftp archives on abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov: o A complete list of the files available, including their sizes, is available in /FILES.Z. This file is updated nightly. o I've rearranged the /amiga/demos directory. It now contains (currently) three subdirectories: commercial/, euro/, and traditional/. The BADGE demos are under traditional/; the idea of keeping the ``European''-style demos separate comes from hecktd@sct60a.sunyct.edu (tim heck d), who argued that because of the distinctive style of the euro-demos, that they should be separate to make them easier to find. As time permits, I'll be moving more of these demos from /incoming/amiga to /amiga/demos/euro. o The Neptune flyby images that have been in /incoming/amiga for ages (contributed by Joe Smith <JMS@F74.TYMNET.COM>) have been placed in /amiga/graphics/images/neptune. I've reorganized them into the way outlined in the ``contents'' file, which is also the README in that directory. The /amiga/graphics hierarchy is new: I'll be rearranging stuff from /amiga into there, and making other new hierarchies. o I'm slowly converting .zoo files into .lzh files in /amiga. Several people have been hounding me to do this for a long time, but quite frankly, xanth just didn't have to cpu power to tackle something like this. I'll not be doing the whole thing, only stuff as I get to it. More to come... ...tad

I'd be interested in a decent unix lharc program as well. someday I'll get around to seriously reworking the archive here... *sigh* -- //boingboingboingboingboingboingboingboingboingboingboingboingboingboing// \X/ \X/ uhccux amiga archive | amiga@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu | amiga@uhccux.bitnet "just another peon" | baron@uhccux.uhcc.hawaii.edu | baron@uhccux.bitnet

Dunno about Tad, but I have a copy of lharc that runs just fine under HP-UX,
UTS (Amdahl), SysV (3B1), and A/UX. I believe it was posted to either the
comp.sources.misc or comp.sources.unix newsgroups earlier this year, meaning
it's available at all archive sites (for either ftp or uucp retrieval). This
lharc creates and unpacks *.lzh files to/from the Amiga just fine. Suggest
you check an archive site near you.

Yes. UNIX Lharc appeared March 10th in comp.sources.misc. It should be available from most comp.sources.misc archive sites in volume11/lharc. (A patch was also posted March 30th). The code itself uses some ANSI-C constructs, but it's easy enough to make work with non-ANSI compilers. Now if only someone would do something about the user interface... ...tad

We have had the Unix source for lharc for at least 5 months. It compiled & runs fine on both our Sun 3 and Sun 4 machines. I don't remember what site we got it from, but it is available.
