All versions of LZX are bugged.

LZX should never be used for anything since they are all bugged and you never know when the bug will strike and ruin your archive.

LZX is very most definitely not the fastest at creating archives.

If you want something that can quickly create an archive and that actually works all the time, you need LHA.

For example, for raw audio, FLAC will always beat any general purpose archiver hands down, no questions asked.


For audio, Shorten (.SHN) will always beat FLAC hands-down.  Approximately the same compression but shorten uses massively less CPU power to decompress.

1. You forgot to install TLSFmem into your OS.  You absolutely must do this.

2. You forgot to assign T: to your hard drive somewhere.  I know its dumb and not your fault but that is just how it is with lha making large archives.

@Brian

If you are using KS 3.0 in your machine then you are allowed to format your floppy disks using FFS instead of OFS.  This gives you a bunch of extra storage space for free.
