lha_68k does not work with accelerator card HC533

[SvaboMSX]

Dear Amiga Friends

few weeks ago I bought a HC533 Accerlation Board.
Got Kick1.3 and Workbench 1.3 on it to work.

Unfortunately when I try to extract an archive using LHA nothing happens.
Just entering "lha" and hitting enter, the CLI prompt is shown. There is no output from the program LHA, such as synopsis etc.

Does anybody experienced similar problems with command tools, beside running accelerator card?
Does anybody knows alternative to LHA for extracting ?

Thank you and best regards

Hi All

thank you for your hints.

LHA  starting Kickstart2.   That makes sense. This explains the behaviour.

Is there an older version of lha existing, with compatible with 1.3 ?

I use Kick 3.1 on my Amiga1200. But on this machine a Amiga500 I wanted to stick to 1.3 for nostalgic reason :-)

version full file lha_68k says error in OPen file.
I only can run  lha.run
There it is telling me something :  sfx1.2

I unpacks successfully three different versions of lha. But call of these file does not work.

I now found a version lha_138.
This one seems to be working. HOwever it is a demoversion. I don t know what the limitations are of this version.

Thank you. (I would never think about such a problem due to kick start version)  :-)

hi,
thank you for your thoughts.

I'll keep possible bugs in mind.
As you said.. it is just fun for me. Won't try to save personal data on lha archives. It is for unpacking of tools.
It is fun...  even the accelerator card does not needed to be. I just wanted to have a CF Card inside, as replacement for an external harddisk.
It is a charme to click around and compile some stupid  "hello world" programs in C.
Unfurnate I realized that the program "say" does not work. I liked this speaking thing when I was a kid

Take care
