Please post a good public domain .lha decompressor!
« on: August 16, 2009, 10:00:10 AM »
Hi.  aminet.net is a great site, great resource.  unfortunately i'm not seeing anything to use to decompress .lha files.  I need a program that does this so I can use the vast amounts of resources available on Aminet.  I'm dorking around with a jacked copy of IDEFix software at the moment and I just know the reason it isn't working is because the image didn't decompress right in WinRAR :/

FreeBSD/Linux is great too.  In fact I'd be even happier to get a good .lha decompression program for one of those platforms.  I'm soon to get a Zorro network card for the 4000 but right now I'm using the much cheaper PCMCIA Network card for my 1200.  So getting from PC to Amiga is not a problem.

^that's url for if you have no .lha decompressor on your amiga yet^

I need the proper version of IDE Fix.  I seem to be getting something that doesn't have an installer off Aminet.  I seem to remember getting the real version with installer from a friend.  I got my own key.

If you search on aminet for lha.run, there's a self-extracting version of LHA that you can use from the Amiga end.


i should've probably tried this one first.  i'll grab it.  i think this windows one works but i'm not sure.  it's not very good.

Freebsd has lha in its "ports". lha is packaged for most flavours of linux too.

or you can build from source

http://lha.sourceforge.jp/


God this message board moves at the speed of light!  I'll try this too! :)

This file doesn't run on my Amiga 1200.  (Workbench 3.1, 3.1 ROM)

I have no clue on why it's not running.  I also tried from a shell a few minutes after I wrote this.  lha.run: file is not executable, failed returncode 10 :'(

It has lost the executable bit from being on a non-Amiga filesystem. Easy to fix. Type the following into the shell:

protect lha +RWED

then try to run it again.


hah.  figured that had happened.  i'll try this one and let you know.  i gotta figure out how to change the server my Amiga ftp program is going to.

yes this is an awesome essential bit of knowledge i think.  i think even .lha still archived might as well have this command run on it before you decompress it via the Amiga.  nice to be doing it the right way now :)  might have a chance of getting my CD-ROM to work before i goto bed at 10 am on sunday morning here :P

*if it's ever been on a PC that is*

cd-rom is an old external SCSI sony that i use with my flat 1200* that's going strong.  i'm doing the A4000 CD-ROM job.  should be easy now with right version of IDE-fix
