      Well, you have all those LHa files, and you have seen the
      XPk system on the Aminet...  And you know it compresses
      better than LHa and so you want to use it..  well, look no
      further.  LHa2XPk to the rescue!!  What this does is to take
      an lha file and recreates it with no compression.  What?!?!?
      No compression?!?!?  But that defeats the purpose you say.
      Wrong...  After this, it is recompressed with XPk.  What this
      does is to improve the compression.  Anyone who knows anything
      about LHa, knows if you create the archive with no compression
      and then take that archive and compress with LHa, you get
      much better compression.  Well, I have expanded that to use
      the XPk system as the compressor, and LHa as the bundler.
      Instructions on use are found at the beginning of the script.
      Enjoy!!!!!


      BUGFIXES:  I fixed the problem with not finding the xpk proggy..
                 oops..

                 And I added two vars in the script...
                 lhacommand  -- the lha command (full path)

                 xpkcommand  -- the xpk command (full path)

      TODO:      Create a GUI for this and remove the scripting
                 Will have full drag and drop arcing and dearcing.
                 Any other viable suggestions... ;-)
