lha, dms, lzx

[motrucker]

I see almost everyone skirted your question. Strange, huh?
I use several version of each. with lha and lzx, I would say use which ever version you have a keyfile for. DMS I can't remember - I'm on the windoze machine right now, I'll have to move to the Amiga and look.... I'll be back asap.

OK, I'm back - I see yet another user has avoided your question.....
I have = LHA v1.42R,  LZX v1.21 (there are '020 and '040  optimised versions too, within this version #)  DMS v1.11 Turbo (what ever that means).
There are newer versions, but I either haven't been able to find the key files for them, or have had problems with the "newer" version.
These version have been working fine for me, for quite some time. I do not know what the tech. differences are between these, and some "newer" versions, but these work.
Hope this helps.

what about DMS, I heard there are some fake versions, which one do you use?

As I said, I use the older V1.11 of DMS. There are, indeed, newer (numerically) versions, but I have had some serious problems with higher numbered versions.
I remember reading about "fake" versions but I can't pull that  one from my memory. DMS v1.11 does get the job done.
