1. Download lha.run
2. Copy lha.run to your Amiga
3. Open a shell
4. Use CD to get to the directory where you put lha.run
5. Type "lha.run" which will extract the lha command
6. Copy lha to c:
7. Type "lha" to see the syntax for the lha command

I usually extract to ram:, so its


lha x archive_name.lha   RAM:


if, by any chance, its a multivolume archive, don't forget to put in -V switch

(edit:..)

Is it -x, or just x? I haven't used the CLI to unarchive an lha for ages but I seem to remember using "lha x "

When I extract with LHA I only use x as a parameter.

When extracting to a directory, remember to put the / after the directory name, otherwise it will fail.

lha x test.lha dh0:test

That fails.

All: Would be it much trouble to actually test and make sure your examples work?

u can use unarc (amigaOS3.9 only?)... it is easier if you are not familiarized with lha sintaxis / amigaDOS.

Piru:
I'm @ work, no Amigas or UAE here to check it.. :-(

BTW, how would one delete file named "_" from archive without recompression?  I've tried wildcards with no success..

If the program to extract lha files is called lha, guess what is the program to extract lzx files called ?

Bye,
Thomas

@ orange
How should I syntax the command in order to create a multivolume lha file with ~1GB volume files ?

I tried the "lha a -rV1000000 -Qv WBVolume:archive.lha  path_where_files_reside"
but keeps asking "inserting volume 2 in device : " ... how do I specify the device to automate the process?

P.S. I want to create a backup of a ~6GB drawer, into multiple lha volumes (about 1GB each)
