Yep, please sell your Amiga to a home where it will appreciated. No offence meant but retro Amiga hobbying isn't for everyone.

Ok.. it seems like you have the correct file then, as well as the others that you don't need but that can be fixed later.

So, you have the lha, it's the right size. You didn't list what protection bits they reported though.

For protect to actually change anything you need to add a + so try this:

> protect c:lha +rwed

after that just on your prompt type:

> lha

now you shouldn't get the "not executable"


And don't give up, you'll get the hang of it!

dood like its my fault it wont work , ive done all everyone has said , and as for vintage , ive spent a fortune on this thing,
the reason i want the cd rom to work is so i can spend more money on os3.9, so please dont say i dont appreciate it , i think it is time it was in silicone heaven dood,
not that i dont apreciate the help from everyone but if it wont work, what is the point in trying to fix it if it cant be fixed !!.

If the harddrive works, the os boots and you can do other things then it's working. Hence should lha work as well so the problem is something else.

Now it seems like you have the file correctly and the only option is that the protection bits are wrong so try what I last suggested and see what happens.


protect C:lha +rwed

> lha

Yes, that's ok since you will rename another one that will take it's place. I wonder if that file was damaged somehow so try this.
