Establishing your own LHarc configuration

If that lharc you use refuses to work with one of the predefined configuration things are a little more complicated. In this case you first have to find out which lharc commands cause which actions, e. g. an ``a'' as ``add'' to add files to an archive. These information should be found in your lharcs documentation. Alternativly you can try to call lharc without parameters, e. g. by Arcgshs function ``Other program''. Many lharcs print out a help text with all available commands then.

Armed with a list of these commands and options you call ``LHarc ...'' in the ``File'' menu an select \framebox{\sf Edit}, and all texts in the fields ``LHarc commands'' and ``LHarc options'' will be displayed in black. For each command and option description you can specify a text now (in most cases a single letter), which will be handed over to lharc to perform the requested action. For this purpose each entry has an editable text field. You should delete the contents of such a text field if a certain command or option is not available with the lharc you use. The field ``option separator'' has a special meaning: Upon parameter passing to lharc this string will be prepended to all specified options.

When you have made all settings you have to click at \framebox{\sf Edit}. Now the text fields are no longer editable and not available commands and options are again greyed out. Using ``Save configuration'' from the ``Configuration'' menu you can store the chosen configuration in Arcgshs configurations file.
