Y2K-Bugfix Patches for LHA 1.38e, 1.50r, 150r (+030) by TetiSoft@apg.lahn.de
(Detlef Würkner). Freely distributable. No warranty for something,
here it works :-)
The output of the archive creation year is changed to year%100
(year modulo 100, that means only the last two digits instead
of three since 01-Jan-2000).
For your convenience I added the spatch utility from SAS/C to this archive.
This tool is freely distributable, let me cite from sc_util.guide:
----8<----
NOTE: You cannot distribute copies of scompare or any other
utility, except spatch, that is included in the SAS/C
Development System. The patch file that you create using
scompare and the spatch utility are both freely
redistributable.
----8<----
How to apply the patches:
-------------------------
Unpack your LhA distribution, copy the patch files and spatch
into the same directory as the executables (/LhA), cd to this directory
and execute this script:
----8<----
spatch -oLhA138e.new -pLhA138e.pch LhA138e
spatch -oLhA.new -pLhA.pch LhA
spatch -oLhA-030.new -pLhA-030.pch LhA-030
----8<----
Then copy the appropriate .new-executable to the desired location, e.g.
copy LhA138e.new c:LhA
and you're done.
Ciao, Detlef
