From what I recall mungeing doesn't have source for the actual LZH code. It's just header files.
And DART has it as a code resource. It looks like it comes that way - as a pre-built lib. I've tried a pass at hand disassembling this a while back, but haven't gotten deep enough.
Some of the code is similar to the use net code I found, much is not.

Subject: Re: Searching for an assembly guru -- DART disk utility
Hi all,
One suggestion about reverse engineering the DART disk utility program is to contact the Apple authors and ask them for DART's source code. I ask why expend work that others have already done when you can more easily ask them for their work?
The DART authors are per https://wiki.68kmla.org/DART:
"Written by David Mutter and Ken McLeod, two software engineers working for Apple Computer, Inc., DART 1.0 was released in 1987. The final version – 1.5.3 – became available in September 1993 ... on the 22nd December 1997, was all together removed from Apple's support site"

I can't find a link for Ken McLeod, but found the following comment about DART from 1996 (ftp://ftp.uni-potsdam.de/pub/systems/mac/Disk-File/00disk-abstracts.txt):
"Thanks go to Ken McLeod for organizing to get Apple to release a library that decompresses DART files!"
There is also a Mac program called MUNGE IMAGE which handles DART images and the source is available on the internet (http://macgui.com/downloads/?file_id=17958).
Hope this helps.
