Says it does, but apparently not. It didn't compile out of the box,
because some variables were declared 'extern' and 'static', so I
dropped the statics, eg:

< static char *lzh_pointer;

>        char *lzh_pointer;

But it just gives me CRC errors. These files do decompress with the DOS
program I have (but then I get DOS names out, with long filenames
shortened with tildes), so I don't believe the files are corrupt as a
CRC might imply.

Oh well. Thanks for the effort. I may find a use for other things in
that package.
