As the old song goes…Theres a hole in my bucket…. I've just spent a very frustrating several hours trying to get a version of the .lha .lzh etc. decompression utilities to work on my amiga. I am using CIM on an (ugh!) (dare I admit it?) IBM PC…well it's better than using it as a doorstop. In any event I cannot seem to find a version of these utilities that will run on the amiga that is not arced or zipped already in some fashion that I can unarc (.zip, .zoo et.) on the PC without problems with the .info and long file name conventions. Also, some of the files that I have managed to decompress require other files from the ARP libraries, more complications. Are there any sea (self extracting archives) files out there that address this issue. Is there a version of these decompression files that I can get that are not compressed?
