Once I have downloaded a file that is in LHA format and then unpacked it, is there any reason to keep the file with the LHA suffix. I downloaded the catalogs from the Amiga User, Arts, and Vendor forums and unpacked them. Should I keep the LHA suffixed files? Hitting fairways and greens! The season has started!

Joan, I've recently found the still compressed file to be useful as a backup for the original. I've kept them on a separate disk to keep from taking up all the space on my tiny little hard drive. On the other hand, most of the really useful files you'll be able to find here on CIS all the time. Sean

Joan, The only reason to keep the LHA'd files would be for backup in case something happend. I keep all of my downloaded files in a draw called "LHA'd files" on my Work: partition. They have proven themselfs usefull several times in the past. Like when i accidently formatted my WorkBench partition. But it all depends on how much room you have. It is completley up to you and your hard drive.;>) —Stephen— ===On Auto Pilot 1.77 With Intel "All over my desk"===

Joan, Once your files are unpacked and you are sure they are working properly, you can delete the LHA archive. —Betty
