Hi Wesley, .LHA files are compressed files. You need to uncompress them first. You need the LHA compress/uncompress utility to uncompress them. I don't know where to find it, but try the IBM file finder (Go IBMFF). The second problem you will run into is that the file names in the LHA archives sometimes have longer names than DOS allows. DOS will just use the first 8 letters and ignore the rest. This means when there are tow files with the name starwarsfingter1.iob and starwarsfingter2.iob during extracting the second file will overwrite the first since the first 8 letters are the same in both files. You will have to extract the files one by one and rename them. Hope it helps. -David
