AFAIK there was only ever one CD made with Blitz and that was the Ultimate
Blitz Basic CD with all the other stuff. I'm sure if you got them to get
the correct name of the package you'd know for sure (but it sounds like
they might need a while to read the name ;).

Well, the FreeBlitz stuff has nothing to do with Blitz - only the BSS.
Which I already have permission for and is one my site, but I think the
HTML might be missing the links.
Releasing Blitz has been discussed with Simon Armstrong and Mark Sibly, and
while they are semi-keen on the idea, they'd rathe rnot release it open
source, but have someone or a group I guess, to look after the code, update
it and fix bugs if needed. I was going to get in contact with them again
after the big update of the Blitz2000 site thats going on just now.
Oh, and for LHA on Windows, get the bog standard lha (you should be able to
find it on the net somewhere) and then use it to extract this version of
lha from Aminet:
lhant.lha util/arc 38K 128 Windows LHA with LONG FILE NAMES
