Hi,

you just need LHa for amiga just look on aminet you'll find it !

You can extract files on a PC under windows but there is a problem with files under subdirectories as amiga uses slash "/" and pc uses backlash "\".

If you want to extract files on amiga just one advice: have a second floppy drive or an hard disk, if not you can use ramdisk if you have enough ram.

Under winuae, lha, lzx (registered version) will both open .lha files. As will Unarc (if you have it installed).

Under windows, WinRAR will handle .lha files. WinRAR is far better than WinZIP anyway, IMHO.

As I recall, I had to download something before WinRAR could handle .lha....or am I mistaken?

@ Cyberus

Maybe you did with an older version, or you might be thinking of .lzx , because current versions of WinRAR handle .lha natively.

Yep, I think I was thinking of .lzx
