FYI I have tested many of these GUI unpackers for the Amiga and every single one that I tested had serious bugs.  The most notable being that all the dirs that contain no files don't get extracted.

This completely ruins many games and apps because suddenly many required dirs have vanished! :furious: :madashell:  :pissed:


You are better off using the shell lha command because then you are guaranteed to get a working extraction.

@AmigaDave
I used the GUI Unarchivers that come with ClassicWB, AmikitOS, +some other one.  They are all FAIL.   And I am told by multiple ppl that the one that comes with OS4 is bugged out too.

They all look nice and beautiful, but they secretly corrupt your data.
