[ UKBF originally submitted Lharc 1.20, but since 1.21 is
available, I'll post it instead. ...tad ]
Lharc is an archive program such as Arc and Zoo. It can store several
files in one archive in a compressed form which is generally more
efficent than that used by Arc and Zoo. It also supplies all of the
archive handling capabilities that an archive program should have.
In particular it is able to store an entire directory tree
with one single command. This enables you, for example, to store an
entire floppy-disk with a single command creating an archive which is
usually shorter than those prodeced by Warp or even LhWarp (see the -r
switch).
Another important feature of Lharc is its ability to preserve the file
attributes (see the -a switch) and filenotes (i.e. the comments that
AmigaODS can associate to each file).
Its only weakness is compression speed: Zoo 2.0, for example, is
faster, but if compression efficency is more important for you than
compression time you'll surely appreciate this progam. (anyway
decompression is much faster than compression)
