Title: Easy way to extract LHA
Post by: Robert17 on August 30, 2004, 12:56:55 PM

I have LHA.run which is fine but I'm relly not that clever or inclined to type in all those commands, can anyone recommend a utility that's easy to use (Like winzip, but for the amiga?)

Thanks

Robert

if you have OS3.9 then use "SYS:Tools/Unarc"

before i upgraded I used Dopus to make buttons that let me compress/uncompress easily.

There's an LhA GUI on Aminet.  Or I think DirOpus used to unLhA.  I know my custom DiskMaster setup does, too.

But, really, out of all the commands for LHA, all you really need to know is.

lha x

ex:

lha x ram:blahblah.lha dh0:blah/
would extract file blahblah.lha to the directory blah on dh0:.

[edit - fixed command] Right you are, Piru.  I've been using Linux too long.  I want to qualify everything with a - or / .  ;-)

Code: [Select]

lha -x ram:blahblah.lha dh0:blah/

That would be

Code: [Select]

lha x ram:blahblah.lha dh0:blah/

DOpus 4 comes configured with Lha functionality out of the box. It's a fantastic program and will run on almost any Amiga. I can't live without it; it makes day-to-day file operations extremely easy.

See Aminet.
