OK, I've built the lha package under NetBSD and can read the lzh file;
I copied it to a ZIP file for testing under Win32.

There are about 10 places where BORLANDC is ifdef'd. I'd like to put
those changes into place for 2.8.2 if I can compile it in the next few
days. Otherwise, perhaps there could be a 2.8.2.1 for Win32? The 14,700
lines in the Hiroyuki's diff would be more work, so I agree with Tom
that integrating the entire set would be for 2.8.3.

P.S.  Your English is certainly better than my Japanese.
