You mean Hammer of Thyrion? I assume this means you rebuilt it.

Yeah, LFNs are a pain sometimes. But most .ZIPs these days refuse to
live without them. :-/
Anyways, DOSLFN is still a bit buggy, and technically I don't think
it's maintained (by Henrik or Jason) anymore. Recently Japheth did
contribute a very small (third-party) patch (re: FCBs or whatever),
but it still has issues.
Anyways, here's his (minor) fix w/ binary if you're curious, though of
course it's unofficial.

P.S. You quoted his whole (long) message. Oops! Luckily I'm not one of
those that cares. ;-)
