#Imagine 2.0 Amiga/PC
7 messages in this thread
I want to use some objects downloaded from Cserve AmigaArts Forum on my PC
version of Imagine. I tried to load the objects (*.lha) into the detail or
forms section and I get a message that states that the files are not TDDD.
What am I doing wrong?

*.LHA files are compressed, you must first decompress them before you can
use them Wesley. Check in the IBM area's I am certain there are prg's to
uncompress LHA/LZH files on the IBM…LHA is a newer version of LZH and
your LZH prg should do the trick.

I feel like a dope. I have a decomression program that will do the trick. I
guess you re-learn something every day.

No need to feel foolish. Glad to be of help and hope the models are useful
to you.
Thanks for the information. I am sure that this new tool will serve my needs
quite well.
Wes
Always glad to help. Bones are ALOT of fun.
Hi Wesley,
.LHA files are compressed files. You need to uncompress them first. You need
the LHA compress/uncompress utility to uncompress them. I don't know where
to find it, but try the IBM file finder (Go IBMFF).
The second problem you will run into is that the file names in the LHA
archives sometimes have longer names than DOS allows. DOS will just use the
first 8 letters and ignore the rest. This means when there are tow files with
the name
starwarsfingter1.iob and
starwarsfingter2.iob
during extracting the second file will overwrite the first since the first
8 letters are the same in both files. You will have to extract the files one
by one and rename them.
Hope it helps.
