I tried to use lharc 1.13b on my 386PC under MSDOS 4.01,
Mostly, the lharc wors fine,
but I found that there are some situations where lharc looses the archived data!
1. If I try to append files by "lharc a" to an existing lzh-file, it will
be crashed. lharc v and lharc x does not find *any* files, (the lhx utility
compains about wrong header, but will find data (lhx -s)
2. There are some files that during archiving phase ("lharc a") are listed
but when you list the archive by lharc v only few files are found!
In the most extreme case only 12 files of 54 was found in the archive.
It lharc badly tested or untrustable or it just me... ???

Ps I tried to look into the lharc source and I am very happy that they
has not used japaneese labels too, the jap-comments are instructive...

I don't think I have a copy of the lharc release notes/bug list handy, but
it may well be that since you're using an older copy, you've met a bug in
it that might be fixed in a more recent copy. Or it could just be DOS 4 :-)
I can email a uuencoded copy of LHarc 1.13d (dated 22/DE/89) to folks who
can't find it elsewhere.

I used LHARC almost exclusively for about a year on my dos
bulletin board for files, system (backup) updates, etc. with none
of the problems you have described. I suspect your problems may
lie somewhere else, syntax, perhaps, or may be hardware-related?
In the period when I relied upon it exclusively, it was run from
a system batch file every few hours, 24-hours a day, for
packing, updating, and unpacking. During the entire period, not a
single error occured, and I trust it completely.
