Why hasn't anyone translated LZEXE's output from French to English yet? I just started playing with it, and ran up against my lack of knowledge of French. The readme.eng in the LZEXE91.ZIP file on Simtel says, "This program was written in French. The help screen (displayed when LZEXE is executed without any arguments) is in French and cannot be hacked into English because it's encrypted, compressed, etc." Apparently Mr. Bianchi didn't have access to the UNLZEXE program. I ran that on LZEXE, COMTOEXE and UPACKEXE, and it unpacked all of them without any problem. The text prompts and help screen were then easily accessible. However, I haven't taken any French, so couldn't translate it myself... anyone want to volunteer? -- Jason Merrill jmerrill@jarthur.claremont.edu

The program is called LZESHELL and is also used to automate running COMTOEXE, UPACKEXE and UNLZEXE. I don't know where it is available on Internet since I got my copy off a local BBS. -- Eugene Wang eggbert@bucsf.bu.edu
