Multi-part LHA Archive
« on: October 15, 2007, 07:18:32 PM »
Hey everyone.

This may seem like a stupid question but...

I recently copied a bunch of files off of my old A2000 which does not have a network card. The only method I had available to me was to use the high density floppy drive that I have on it. I copied the files to a 1.44 Mb PC formatted floppy to transfer to my PC. Some of the files that I wanted to transfer exceeded the 1.44 kb that I can use so I used lha to compress the files into a multi-part archive.

lha -b1400 file.ext

This results in multiple files with the first file being file.lha followed by file.l01, file.l02 etc.

I tried uncompressing these files using my WinUAE environment on my PC but I can't seem to figure out the command I should be using. I have tried

lha e file.lha

lha e -b1400 file.lha

lha e -b1400 file.lha file.l01

Each attempt results in a message saying that the archive is incomplete or corrupt. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

PS - I pulled this data off of a failing HD and it is doubtful if I can go back and get it again using a different method, thus my focus on extracting this data from its current format.

Thanks!

Ouch... sorry for this post. After some more messing around I discovered that I should be using

lha -V1400 file.lha
