Mon 11-Feb-91: Acquired /pc/pd2/lha205.exe update of LHa .lzh test version with a patch /pc/pd2/bdiff.lzh to impose an English user interface. (Apply lha_e.bat to patch). Unfortunately there already was a different version of lha205.exe in the /pc/pd2 directory (with some English documentation). Therefore I'll take the liberty of renaming this new arrival as lha205j.exe. ...................................................................

I'm doing an evaluation of archivers, and there should be some very comprehensive and interesting results available soon. -- bill davidsen - davidsen@sixhub.uucp (uunet!crdgw1!sixhub!davidsen) sysop *IX BBS and Public Access UNIX moderator of comp.binaries.ibm.pc and 80386 mailing list "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me

The working part seems the same. Yes. To repeat for general information. The renamed lha205j.exe and it's patch to English bdiff.lzh originate from the University of Tokyo, whence I got it by anonymous ftp. There seems to be several incarnations of this _beta_test_ version around in various BBSes under the same name lha205.exe. Some have been already patched. Some have Japanese documentation, some English. This plethora of combinations is, of course, an inevitable consequence of releasing a non-English version of such a popular utility. But that seems to have been the author's choice. Incidentally have there ever been versions of lharc (or lha) that have not been called test versions? ...................................................................
