it does fully support Window's non-premptive multi-tasking capabilities and has
four different priority settings. You can selectively add or extract files from
an archive, and it allows you to view the contents of an archive with time,
date, and compressed/uncompressed file sizes.

all commands/options in detail. We could not get it to create a self-extracting
archive, but all the other options worked. Requires LHA from disk #1862.
