Shiela, I saw a Unidrive external floppy advertised from a mail order place for around $100.. LZH archives are just that. Like ARC, only better and the archiver program you'd use on LZH files is "LHArc" or "LZ". LZH archives are not an 'Amiga' phenomenon… they exists on MS-DOS, too, and they are usually interchangable in the sense that LHArc on the Amiga can work on LZH files created on an MSDOS machine and vice-versa. The MSDOS handler you downloaded will indeed allow you to read/write MS-DOS format disks on your Amiga with your Amiga programs. But it must be properly installed in your system first. It should involve: 1) copying 1 or 2 special files to certain directories on your Workbench disk. 2) adding (and saving) an entry to your MOUNTLIST file. 3) issuing a MOUNT MSH: (for instance) command from a CLI. Of course, once installed, all that you need to activate the MSH device is to issue the MOUNT command (#3). I d/l the same file you did from the file section here and got it to work with no problem, and infact, got MS-DOS versions of RAMdisks, etc. to work. So what you downloaded was a workable system, unless there was an error that corrupted your copy while you were downloading it.
