I have downloaded the Lemmings Demo TWICE in the last two days and neither of these will decompress! This is a big file 461K and not cheap to download. During the same sessions, I also downloaded other smaller files which Decompressed without a hitch. One thing odd about the Lemmings demo is the .ext which is LHW. Haven't seen this before and I am assuming that it is a mistype of LZH, LHA. Anyway, I am not so happy about the time and charges accummulated to do this. I can only run a 2400 from my local Compuserve dialup. Does anyone have suggestions on how to successfully decompress this file (I have been using LhA132) or how to get credit for the time involved? Thanks

Chris, No, .LHW is not a mistype — no reason for you to assume it is. To decompress the file, you'll need LHWARP from the Archivers/Crunchers Library in AmigaUser Forum.

You must decompress that file with LHWARP. That's the problem. LHWARP makes an exact copy of the disk from which it was compressed, not just a copy of the data from the disk. You will find LHWARP in Library 16 of AmigaUser forum.

Thanks for your reply Betty. This one's new for me. But I will go get the LHWARP utility now and hopefully try Lemmings soon…
