-HA is an archiver which I released in january 1993 as version 0.98.
-After that I had plans to improve speed, archive handling etc. which
-would have required total rewrite of the code. For that I unfortunately
-could not find time. Because there has been quite considerably interest
-for internals of HA (especially for the HSC compression method) I
-decided to make a source level release from my current test version
-(0.999 beta) and place it under GNU General Public License. The sources
-for this version are not very consistent or clean, but everything should
-work.
-
-There are several improvements which should be made before this could be
-called version 1.0. Some of the most obvious of these are: 
-- Compression methods should be coded in assembler for PC and using more
-  efficient data structures for 32 bit platforms. Current version does
-  some things only to overcome 64kB segments of 8086. 
-- UNIX port has still some problems and is missing some things (for example 
-  a grouping operator in wildcard matches). 
-- File handling is far from optimum.  
-- Archive handling is not too clever either. 
-- Testing should be done more thoroughly as there are many special cases 
-  in compression routines which get used very rarely. 
-- Documentation of code and algorithms is totally missing.

-This archive (ha0999.zip) contains this readme, MSDOS executable ha.exe
-and source files for HA 0.999beta. Ha.exe is NOT compiled directly from
-included sources. Some critical parts of it were compiled from hand
-optimized versions of compiler output. It is somewhat faster than "pure
-C" version. 
-
-MSDOS sources are for Borland C 4.0 but older versions of bcc should
-work. Makefile needs some editing as some paths are hardcoded in it.
-UNIX sources are not very generic. I have only tested this using Linux
-on PC and AIX on IBM6000. Only compiler and make utility that I have
-tested are GCC and GNU MAKE.
-
-Porting HA should be fairly easy as all machine specific code is in
-machine.h and machine.c under machine specific directories. Md_funcs.txt
-documents these functions. Examples can be found from pc and nix
-directories.
-
-Email address where I can be reached is "harri.hirvola@vaisala.infonet.com".
-My email addresses have not been very stable and I would not be very 
-surprised if this one too is only valid for some months...
