Mac OS X to amiga

[motorollin]

Go to Aminet and search for lha.run

Then copy this over to your Amiga and run it. It will self extract the lha executable. Copy this to C:.

But methinks one would still need to use the CLI to extract the MiraWIzArc.lha archive, right?

[motorollin]

Yup. Lha.run extracts the lha executable, which goes in C:. Then "lha x MiraWizArc.lha" extracts the WizArc application. Then you can use WizArc to more easily extract the lha archives containing the ADFs.

Heh yeah, except lha.run unarchives itself :-)

I think you'll also find that the chicken will unarchive itself from the egg.

[motorollin]

Only if there was a chicken in the first place to lay the egg from which the chicken hatches itself. But then there had to be an egg for that chicken to come from, which would mean.............

I could go on.

Like other said.... If you do indeed have wb3.1, then you can easily read dos formatted floppies if you mount the pc0. If you have WB 3.1 installed on the HD, then you can just go into a shell and type mount pc0 and have the dos floppy inserted into the disk drive. If you do not have the OS installed on a HD, then i think you will have to copy the pc0 device from dosdrivers and onto your backuped wb3.1 startup floppy.

Remember to format the disk in 720k DD format.

i think that adf files are more than 900kb in size so a 720kb floppy seams useless.

BTW, anybody knows why they didn't use dms at the very start?


-edit-
cancel the question, i think because it's compressed...
