  About 200 X-ray sources from a sample of spectrally hard ROSAT PSPC sources,
given in the catalog of Haberl & Pietsch (1999), and observed in a ~60 square
degree field of the LMC during several archival pointed observations with a
wide range of exposure times have been reanalyzed. For these sources accurate
count rates and hardness ratios have been recalculated. In comparison to Haberl
& Pietsch (1999) we used merged data from all available observations and we
derived average source parameters by investigating each source individually.
  From a simulation powerlaw spectral tracks have been derived in the HR1 - HR2
plane and ~170 sources have been classified as background X-ray sources or as
LMC X-ray binaries. 80% of the spectrally hard X-ray sources with more than 50
observed counts have been found to be consistent with background X-ray sources
and 20% with LMC X-ray binaries (53 sources with AGN and 15 with X-ray
binaries). The discovery of a new supersoft source RX J0529.4-6713 at the
southern HI boundary of the supergiant shell LMC4 is reported. We find two new
candidate X-ray binary systems which are associated with the optical bar of the
LMC and additional candidate X-ray binaries which are associated with
supergiant shells.
