An ADF is much less convenient when using a real Amiga.

Is it?


I think so. If I want to get software out of an ADF I have to either mount a virtual floppy then use a utility to write it, or dig out a working floppy and write the ADF, then copy the software from the floppy to where I want it. With an LHA, I just extract it directly to wherever I want it.

To the original poster:
I don't really understand all this aggression towards software packed with LHA. Remember that most software on Aminet has been there for many many years, since way before ADFs existed. Do you expect all the authors to go back and re-upload their software in ADF format just for the benefit of people who can't be bothered to work out how LHA files work? :roll:
