I would like to find/create a replacement for LU that would support datestamps and file compression/decompression using the LZH algorithm.
So far as I know, the C source code for LU301 was never released. I am
aware of LU11.c which is a derivative of LAR for Unix and compiles with Hitec-C as well as LBRATE which contains decompression algorithms for
Linux. LU86 supported datestamps but I have not been able to locate
the source code although it was released. Any suggestions out there?

code for LZH compression/decompression and date support you may not have much memory left for actually processing the archive and handling the
memory needed for the compression/decompression routine. One option you might want to consider is using external programs. There was an
archiving tool for LBR files that allowed you to integrate external
programs to do this but unfortunately I can't remember the name.
Other than that if you haven't seen it before there is a program called
LT v31 on the Walnut Creek CD that can can extract and view files in
a .LBR archive. It is only 7Kb and handles LHA compressed member files
as well as those compressed with Squeeze and Crunch.
It is available here: http://cpmarchives.classiccmp.org/cpm/Software/WalnutCD/beehive/compress/lt31.lbr
