#Those Darn LZH's
hello And HELP!!!
As a well seasoned computer user to an Atari ST to an IBM, as well
as a C-64, Atari 800 etc etc…I never had so many problems dearchiving
software as much as I'm having with the Amiga. I am well versed in Lharc
for the IBM and Atari (wrote my own source in C on both) as well as zip,arc
and sit for mac. but my real problem is d/l software from CIS and other
bbs's. You see with the Atari & IBM I download a file and its there. I can
see it. I know it exsists and takes up space. Unfortunely I have been
experimenting with the Amiga and after many hours of reading manuals (does
anyone still do that these days? I stopped in 1970) I found that I must
load the cli file. Fine. So I
did. There was the file. Now all I needed was that LZH program. So I TRY
to find a unlzhed lzh file. Should I find one?-NOT!! I download what I
think is a non-compressed unlzher (lzh111.lha) and so I loaded cli and went
to load the file. Being experenced in Unix, CP/M I TRY to load that nasty
little lzher..'object file no module'-or something like that. Well what
should I do? I've got a bunch of files (mostly a collection of graphics and
demos to show off the Amiga) but the nasty little bugger doesn't care if it
is a module or what. What ddoes an Amiga user do?
To make a long story short…..I need to unlzh a file. I need a
program that is an exacutable..not already lzhed. I would download a lzher
but they are all compressed. Lately my Amiga has been covered with dust and
buried under papers since it is too unconmfusing to uuse. The only thing I
use it for is playing THE THREE STOOGES. HELP!
