Well HECK!

I tried and got the exact same result. So I went ahead and transferred it to 
this PC and uncrunched to find out that it was working correctly.
When I checked on the coco, I used lha l filename and it didn't show the 
subdirectories, just the files. So now I'm finishing up the backup of my 
coco's hard drive.

Your suggestion prompted me to go ahead with it anyway and thanks. Now I am 
getting a handle on LHA, even though the manual is basically confusing.

LHA is powerful and very flexible. Amazing.
