so I made these changes to lharc.c :
---------------------------
< #define STRICT
---
> /* #define STRICT */

< void userbreak(void)
---
> void userbreak()

<   printf("\nC-LHarc for %s Version 1.00   (C) 1989-1990 Y.Tagawa, Kai Uwe Rommel\n"
<          "\nUsage: %s {axevlufdmctp}[qnftv] archive_file [files or directories...]\n",
---

> \nUsage: %s {axevlufdmctp}[qnftv] archive_file [files or directories...]\n",

several more changes like that deleted, and finally:

< copy_archive(src, dst)char *src; char *dst;
---
> copy_archive(char *src, char *dst)
---------------------------

It compiles and runs ok on my sun 3/160 OS 4.0.3 . I could compile lharc.c with -O
and use -O4 on lzhuf.c lhio.c . Using -O2,3,4 on lharc.c always gets a core dump from
executing lharc.

 I love the compression ratio, but - I get core dumps when I do

lharc c arcname directoryname

what I have to do is:

lharc c arcname directoryname/*

which works just fine, except in one caes where directoryname/* was all directories,
which also dumped core, forcing me to do:

> foreach direct (installed/*)
? lharc a installed.lzh $direct/*
? end

which also worked fine.

Does anyone know how to get lharc to handle directory names without barfing ?

thanx
