If you have fixes, by all means publish them by whatever means is best for 
you, Willard.  Yes, I worked on it some, enough to scratch my itch close to 
20 years ago now, but other than preaching that 19 blows the OEM version 
plumb into the next drainage, I don't consider it to be _my_ baby.

Frankly, I am surprised it hasn't needed its diaper changed long before 
now.

So with that, the "maintainer" flag for c.prep gets handed to Willard.  

OTOH, if you want to do those fixes, but don't have a handy server, smunch 
it up with ar2.0 or lha-2.0.x(whatever the last version was) (don't forget 
to update the README to reflect your work) and mail it back & I'll put it 
on my web page, which will be up till I fall over or they outlaw the 
internet.

Actually, duplication is insurance, so put a copy on maltedmedia too, that 
way if I get run over by a bus, its still available.

I am glad that someone is showing an interest in improving our C toolchain.
