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.

Any that come with OS4 work just fine.  It's DirOpus, not rocket science that lha x * to dir stuff with the GUI aspect...  Never had an issue with any of it, and I mirror and test all of Aminet archives to my OS4 operated BBS on an incremental basis weekly.  I use the command line LHA via script hundreds of times a week to add FILE_ID.diz and readme's to .lha files with zero problems.  Never had a single issue with Amikit either - I recommend you check the button/archiver options and make sure you are using a modern version.
