I wasn't aware that there existed any LZH-cruncher in CP/M (now I am).
And where please can I get a copy of CRLZH12.LBR? Site addr, mail addr,
anything? Many thanx in advance.

Yes, hopefully.

You can say that again. I've been looking into it a bit and found a lot of
incomprehensible (sp?) stuff. Mind you, that the process of compacting data
was explained to me twice and it sounded sooooo easy, but that, when faced
with the actual code, I'd have to give up. I simply couldn't remember a
thing, and so far I haven't had any luck in finding any literature on it
