Hello,

I am trying to transfer adf files from pc to amigha 1200 wb 3.1. I compress them on pc with a standard archive format like lha or zip. then i copy the file on a formatted 720kb disk. I then put the disk in the amiga and via cross-dos i can acces the file and put it on the hard disk. But when i try to decompress the file with LHA,unzip,unrar,etc i keep on getting the error message: invalid compressed data to inflate! although it sometimes works with files smaller than 300 kb,please help :(

Thanks

Hello! thanks to everyone who replied to my posts!

when i tried to extract the files directly from the disquette ik Worked  fine,

You mentioned The HDtoolbox where could i get such a program?

also since i use 720 disks my capacity is limited to 720 kb when i want  to have bigger archives i am in trouble! RAR seems like a good method  but deachiving with a unrar program on the amiga doesn't really work,  pehaps i use the wrong program? i use winrar to archive on pc and used  De-archiveur ;unrar-3.10 on the amiga

thank you! :razz:
