Title: LHarc - or something NEW that I can use...
Post by: Rooster on July 31, 2006, 09:18:34 PM

So...  I am using LHArc, 1.30...

The Reason:

Have located the GVP SCSI driver disk I need (for a fresh install on a newer drive that did not come with this system), and I need to make the install disk, which is a DMS file.  Found a DMS utility, it is LHA'd..  Wonderful, except for God only know's why reason, my LHArc app. keeps saying files were made with a newer version..  Looked on the Aminet that I see people referring people to in here, and whadda ya know.  The listed version for LHArc is, yup, 1.3...  Help?

...and the irony is to use that program (which oddly enough didn't come up on lharc serach) you have to STILL have a newer  than 1.30 LHArc to extract it :(  *pulls hair out*

EDIT:  Specifically, I get this error:  Unsupported type of compression '-lh5-' !!! Maybe you need a newer version of lharc

When you have this extracted, use the included lha to extract lha_68k.lha.

Ancient??  LoL - It was the newest and best thing I had, lol :)

Thks for that second file..  That one actually I used to extract the dms program :)  Though I have both now (the lha's) on my machine.  Appreciate your swift response!
