I know of the rumor, but (/pc/pd2/)lh114b.exe at chyde.uwasa.fi is a later version than indicated by it. The hacked version called the packed files .ice, but our lh114b version seems to be ok. Of course one never knows, but I have not heard complaints about this version. But thanks for contacting me with the information. If anyone knows more about this, please post for the net to know.

But thanks for contacting me with >the information. If anyone knows more about this, please post for >the net to know. A Japanese mathematics professor living in Tokyo, Kejirou Okubo, uploaded the original copy of LHARC to the GEnie network here in the U.S. last March. Kenjirou has kept in touch with the Sysops of the IBM area on GEnie and he reports the current status of LHARC as: 1. LHARC 1.13C is the most recent version here in the U.S. 2. There is a patch in Japan fixing some (very) small bugs which brings the level up to 1.13D. This patch was uploaded to GEnie but it was for the Japanese version (Kanji) and did not work. 3. There is a new version just around the corner. It will be released as 2.00 and will have better compression (better than PKZIP v1.20). There was a beta version of this, numbered 1.91 that was available in Japan, and to several individuals in the U.S. but it had known bugs and was never released. If I see the new version, I'll be certain to forward it to Bill Davidsen for distribution on comp.binaries.ibm.pc. I hope this info helps dispel some rumors! -- Paul Homchick :UUCP {rutgers | uunet} !cbmvax!cgh!paul Chimitt Gilman Homchick, Inc. :Internet cgh!paul@manta.pha.pa.us 259 Radnor-Chester Rd, Suite 140 :MCI PHOMCHICK Radnor, PA 19087-5299 :GEnie HOMCHICK
