What commands are you typing in to the shell to extract the lha file?

It sounds like the lha file has lost its file attributes, so doesn't know it is executable. Open up a shell and type in:

protect c:lha rwed

Then press enter. That should make the lha extractor executable again. You should only need to do this once. Then type in your extract command again:

lha x idefix.lha dh3:

and see what happens.

Sounds to me like you didn't rename/copy the right file that was unpacked when you ran lha.run

Try to type this:

> list C:lha

and tell us what size the lha file has

These are the files unpacked from the self extracting lha.run. You can see what sizes the different executables should be. I suggested you copy the lha_68020 and if you did the result of your list should then be 91512 bytes. If it's not then you have copied the wrong file.

Code: [Select]
lha_68k.readme                    1815 ----rw-d 13-Mar-06 23:33:18
lha_68k                          94020 ----rwed 13-Mar-06 22:25:20
lha_68040                        87296 ----rwed 19-Okt-05 13:16:50
lha_68020                        91512 ----rwed 13-Mar-06 22:26:14

No. You don't need the readme in C: It's of no importance at all.

So, you have the files extracted in C but you haven't renamed any of them to lha? You just copied the files as they were?

Can you type this:

list C:lha#?

copy and paste the result here

IIRC the protect command doesn't return anything to tell you it has done something. So just try extracting the lha file now.

@leytond


LISTEN!  this is the easiest way.... I gaurantee you!

Get DiskMaster II from Aminet or whererver.

Install it. Try to get it from someone that has a version that is NOT LHA packed but is just the files ready to run.

Now get the LHA command and UNLHA command from someone.  Put them Both in your Operating System C: drive....select that OS window (usually called Workbench or System) and while the window is selected go to the menu and select SHOW ALL FILES so that you can see all the Drawers/Folders. Look for C  and just drag the LHA and UNLHA into it to copy it.

ok now your READY!  open DiskMaster II  and on the left window look for where you placed whatever File you want to unpack (lha files only)  and on the right window select where you want to copy it.  Now select the first window again and click once on the file you want to unpack/extract and while it is highlighted go to the menu and find LHA Extract and I think LHA Extract destination

one will extract it to the same directory the file is in, the other to the destination you selected.


Trust me..... No Easier way.  and by the way you can double click the icon and it will extract.... I will show you that later.
