Actually, that's pretty much what I did, except the Winace program can create LHa archives, so I used it instead of the program you mention. However, I ran into another problem-after unpacking the LHA archive on the Amiga, I tried the adf2disk command given above by Tomas. Everything seemed to go fine, so I then clicked the floppy icon so that I could make sure that the file was indeed on the disk. When I did htis, I got an error that said there was a disk checksum error, and there was nothing on the disk, even after clicking on Show all. I know the floppy i sok, becuase I've been using it all day long. Does anyone know what the problem is?
Nothing ever goes easy for me (can't you tell? :-D ). :lol:
Hmmm - if the disk is readable on the PC without probs, I'd assume that either the heads of your Amiga floppy drive need to be cleaned or they need a calibration. I have a weak remembrance that there was a tool for this - maybe on Aminet...
Edit:
From time to time I have similar errors in my floppy drive and sometimes it helps to take the disk out of the drive, rotate the inside by a few degrees and retry to read it.
But it might as well be that - given that your disk must be quite a couple of years old - there now is a physical disk error.
In this case you could try to repair it (fix in place) or to salvage it (you'll need a new medium or write to HD) with DiskSalv (from Aminet)...
Oh - one thing I'd like to mention:
Years ago I got myself "CrossDos 7 gold".
With this version there are no 8.3 filename restrictions any longer.
It supports DD disks (720k) as well as HD disks (1440k) and is able to read and write PC harddrives...
