#HELP!!!

I am looking for 2 things:
1. The utility program that unpacks LHA files.
2. A telecomm program that works weel with CIS.
Leon,
Check LIB 16 (Archivers/Crunchers) and LIB 5 (Communications) in the
AmigaUser Forum.

Look in Library 16 of Amigauser for LHA138.RUN to unpack the LHA files.
It is a self-dissolving archive. Just CD to the directory where you have
LHA138.RUN, and then type its name and it will unpack itself.
There are a number of good telecom program on CIS that work well, and you
will find them in Library 5 of Amiga user – if you want a regular term
program. I have found that BackTalk works well, but there are others.
If you want an automated CIS package that will let you do most of your
work offline, then look in AmigaVendor, Library 9 for AP.LHA (AutoPilot.)
It will do all of your uploading, downloading, and message collecting very
rapidly, without your intervention at all. Then it signs you off, opens
an editor in which you read the messages and reply if you wish. Next time
you sign on, it will send your replies when it collects new messages, etc.
It's great, and can really save you money in connect-time costs.

Leon,
You'll find LHA138.RUN (self-extracting archive) in lib 16 of AmigaUser (G
AMIGAU).
If you are running AmigaDos 2.0+ Autopilot is by far the best program to
use for access to CIS. AP requires 1 meg chip ram, a couple meg fast ram,
a hard drive, and is most pleasant with a deinterlaced screen. You'll find
a demo version in library 9 of AmigaVendor Forum (G AMIGAV) in the files
AP.LHA and APDOCS.LHA.
