Title: Lha old versions

I need old version of lha, < v1.30 (don't ask).
Can someone help me find it?
Thanks.

If you happen to know about when the version that you want came out, folks could check their old cover disks.  ;)  Guestimate?

thanks all. I'm trying to re-create lha archive, but unfortunately, none of the above versions produce desired result. packed file always has a byte or two less or more.
oh, well.

Are you absolutely sure that the file you are packing is 100% exactly the same as the original you're trying to reproduce?  All sorts of simple things could cause a 1 byte discrepancy.

yes, I'm sure, all .lha have same original file CRC and size. they also all use -lh5-.
are there any command switches that could cause it? hardware config? KS version?

There's a header level switch.

thanks, but that only affects header, not the compressed data size.

Sorry, I thought you meant the final archive was different by a few bytes, not the individual compressed files.  I'm not sure how the calculations work but it could make a difference.

I've made some progress, using -Qh switch (huffman buffer size), unfortunately lha v2.12 seems to ignore it, so I used good-old v1.38.

thanks all.

As already suggest I'd go to AmiNet and their =misc/fish&content=lha&sort=desc]Fred Fish Disk archive (http://aminet.net/search?path[). When looking for specific (especially older) versions of libs or such it's a good source. Checking the index (http://de4.aminet.net/misc/fish/complete_index.txt) they covered LhA v1.0 on disk 577, v1.11 on disk 593, 1.22 on disk 637 and 1.32 on disk 715.

You're sure it's not archived using LHArc format (lha -0)?
