I found another little bug in the unix version of lharc: it dumped core when extracting files with length zero. It is a division by zero in lzhuf.c. Here is the patch: *** lzhuf.c~ Sun Mar 18 14:59:06 1990 --- lzhuf.c Wed Mar 28 10:27:48 1990 *************** *** 882,888 **** ((size + (m * INDICATOR_THRESHOLD - 1)) / (m * INDICATOR_THRESHOLD) * INDICATOR_THRESHOLD); ! i = ((size + (indicator_threshold - 1)) / indicator_threshold); while (i--) putchar (DOT); indicator_count = 0; --- 882,891 ---- ((size + (m * INDICATOR_THRESHOLD - 1)) / (m * INDICATOR_THRESHOLD) * INDICATOR_THRESHOLD); ! if (indicator_threshold != 0) ! i = ((size + (indicator_threshold - 1)) / indicator_threshold); ! else ! i = 0; while (i--) putchar (DOT); indicator_count = 0; Hope this helps. PS: I found better compression rate with lharc than whin tar and compress which was the best.
