It's really easy to dearchive .LHA files on a Mac. First you find a local
Amiga dealer, then you buy an Amiga from him, and then download LHA for
the Amiga! 🙂 Seriously now, I do believe there is a Mac program to
dearchive LHA files, perhaps a browse thru one of the Mac forums would
turn up the file (or better yet, the Mac FileFinder). I'm assuming that
the .LHA files that you have originated on an Amiga? If so, I'd stay away
from any PC LHA dearcers, as MSDOS (or MessyDOS as some folks call it) has
that stupid 8.3 file name restriction that neither Amigas, nor Macs (nor
most other intellegent OSes) have. I've never tried to unarc a file that
does have a long name onto a PC to see what happens, either it'll truncate
the filename, or worse yet it could crash the machine!
