The ILBM.LHA file has been dloaded 16 times, and the archive is fine at this end, so I suspect that you got a bad download. Try again. Michael Soft-Logik

NOT SO Michael I just downloaded the ILBM.LHA file and it transferred ok. but when an attempt is made to extract using LHA 1.22 I get a 0 bytes extracted message. The archive tests OK. but has nothing in it ??? Are you sure the archive is OK. or are you using a newer version of LHA that us folks with older version cant understand. ?? / So much Great Amiga Software, so little Time !! \/ John Lemoine via Whap! 75320,143 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

John: The latest version of LHA is LHA132.RUN in AmigaUser library 16. // Michael \X/ …on AutoPilot

Michael: Thanks for the info on the new LHA version, I will download it and check out the new driver. / So much Great Amiga Software, so little Time !! \/ John Lemoine via Whap! 75320,143 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Michael: I have downloaded the ILBM.LHA file twice now and I still can't extract the driver. I am using the new version of LHA (1.32). I get the same results with the Test, Look & Extract functions, the file is OK, but it is empty. LHA T ILBM.LHA or LHA X ILBM.LHA or LHA L ILBM.LHA all say there are 0 bytes in the file. I am downloading the file using Whap 1.9H, and have downloaded hundreds of Megs of files in the past without this kind of problem. Can you check the file. I saw in a previous note that you had said that many people had downloaded the file. (this does not necessarily mean that they have extracted the file OK).

John: First, try using LHA x <filename>.lha NOT LHA X <filename> (I think that the switch is case sensitive) Unfortunately, I can't test it until Wednesday, as I am out of town (and away from my Amiga). But I'm sure you can talk one of the sysops in to checking it out. Michael

John, I downloaded the file ILBM.LHA, and had exactly the same problems you described. Apparently something has corrupted our file, and we will need to get another copy. Thank you for calling this to our attention, and I'm terribly sorry you had problems with it. We will remove it immediately. Betty

Betty: Thanks for testing the file out and verifying it BAD, I have downloaded hundreds of MegaBytes of data from Compuserve in the 5 or 6 years I have been a user, and was starting to get a little miffed at the basic assumption that I did not know what I was doing. RE. pointing out a corrupt file. (OTOH I suppose there are a lot of beginner problems you must see.) I use LHA and other archivers in other environments PEECEE, Ultrix,VMS etc. and was surprised to see this particular file test OK but have nothing in it. (weird) Usually a corrupt file has bad header info or other errors.

When I did a test on the file, it said, "no files to test." Yet it reported no errors, as you say. Strange.

I will upload another version today. Michael Soft-Logik

John: Please don't get upset because we try to point out the obvious… as you said, there ARE many beginner's here, and some of the most frequent questions posted have to do with the archiving and uncrunching of library files…. and when someone posts a message like you did, it makes perfect sense to give the response that was given, and _then_ for a sysop to check the file (as Betty did). The only intent was to help you as quickly as possible. No offense was intended (as I'm sure you know!). // Michael \X/ …on AutoPilot
