I don't have any specs, I only have a Java source that extracts the
"-pm2-" stream. I'm reorganising it so that it matches the LHA source as
much as possible.
I'm only aiming for PMA unpacking, packing is not that interesting to me.
After all, PMEXT can handle the "-lz5-" type streams made by LHA.
If I run into troubles with the Java to C conversion, I'll let you know.
However, if you are curious, you can always get the Java source.
It's quite fast, by the way, 115K of text (DOS2 function specification) was
unpacked in 380 ms (P2/400, IBM's Java VM for Linux).

GCC 2.95 can compile Java to C++. However, LHA is written in C, not C++.
Also, the generated C++ relies on a library containing a garbage collector
and some other stuff. So automatic conversion is not an ideal option.
