Unpacking LHA's on a PC?
« on: October 02, 2008, 03:35:55 PM »
Hey Folks,

I've been searching around but havent found any decent way to unpack LHA files on a Windows PC. I've found a command line version of LHA for PC's but I'd like to find something with a gui so I dont have to fiddle and type a bunch of stuff everytime I want to unpack something :-D

Too much to ask?

Thanks everyone!

I've never heard of IZarc. I'll have to check that out.

Doesnt Winrar install a bunch of nasty unwanted stuff on your system?.

I had a situation a while back befor I got my sandisk cf reader. I had to rig vterm and the native windows program hyperterminal for serial transfer. The hyperterminal did not have a queuing function so I found IZARC and packed a bunch of files and made the transfer. Couldn't pack them in ZIP beacse I only had lha support in the Amiga. Thats how I found IZARC.

EDIT:
@spihunter
You answered while I wrote. No I don't think Winrar does anything like that. A distant bell rings that Winace did that at some point. I haven't tested winace in a long time. I always used winrar but IZarc is rather nice so I probably keep it.

The latest version of WinZip supports LHA as well; however, WinZip honors the security zone information that Windows attaches to files in a separate stream on NTFS volumes. It can be quite annoying. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883260 for more information.

WinRAR is completely safe - been using it for years. Well worth registering (it's not free, but it's not expensive either).

WinRAR is AOK - been using it for years as a professional, no security issues whatsoever. Highly recommended.

7-zip also comes Portable! meaning you can put it on a flash drive. or even use it on your HD. no messing about with the registry. (which I love)

PeaZip is also Portable
