DESCRIPTION:
-----------
This is a little program to fix a problem I was having with the file
manager Ordering.

I wrote this as a quick'n'dirty solution to the following problem:
(I encourage anyone out there to write this in assembly so I don't
 have to call my own 4k executable...it's too damn big for what it
 does...well...being compiled Pascal explains why...)

WHY:
---
I have Ordering set up so that when I extract from an archive, that
Ordering opens up a directory requester to specify the destination path.
Unfortunately, if one were to attempt to extract into a subdirectory,
one would fail.

Here's how I had my prefs set up for extracting:
lha -x %dcf %dr
       ^    ^
       |    |
       |    Directory Requester
       |
       Double-Clicked File

So that when I double-clicked on a file that was an archive it would
being up a directory requester.
However...if I were to select a path like:  Utils:comm/
%dr would be set to: Utils:comm
and there would be problems.

Here's where this little proggy (okay, it's 4k long..not my fault)
comes in...

lha -x %dcf `pfix %dr`
            ^        ^
            NOTE: THESE ARE BACKWARDS APOSTROPHE'S!

What pfix does is this:
takes a command line argument, if it ends with a : or / it is left alone.
However, if it does not, it appends a slash.
So that Utils:comm --> Utils:comm/
