#Graphics Utility

New to this graphics format and having a hard time trying to find a graphics
viewer/converter for .LHA graphics files. Can someone advise ? Platform is
PC-Compatible 386/33. Is this even possible ?
.LHA is a data compression format, not a grpahics file format. To
decompress files with the .LHA extension you'll need to download
LHA138.RUN from library 16 of AmigaUser Forum (G AMIGAU). It is a self
extracting archive: just download it as LHA138.RUN, place it in ram:, CD
to ram: and enter: LHA138.RUN that will explode all of the files to
ram: then type: COPY LHA C: which will put LHA in your C:
directory.
Read the documentation for LHA (which is now in RAM:)
Basically, to unpack a file, use the command, CD to the directory you want
the file(s) to go: and type:
LHA -x x <pathname>:<archivename.LHA>
Michael,
How is he going to run LHA138.RUN on an 486? I run this program on my
Amiga and certainly not the 386 bridgeboard!
He may have to use one for IBM clones. Forum GRAPHSUP is just one
of the forums with the following file:
IBM File Finder+

LHA is a free archiver (this version for MS-DOS), creating and unpacking
LZH archive files. LHA replaces LHArc 1.xx. This is a self-extracting
archive

Gayle,
Opps! hehe I'm gald you caught that <g> I tend to assume that if
someone is asking a question in the AmigaArts Forum that they are using an
Amiga (how silly of me)… I missed the last line of his message.
Thanks for posting the msdos LHA reference.
Michael,
You're welcome! 🙂
I found the same lha 2.13 file in a German forum with a '93 upload
date. It's the same size and name. It's all over the different forums
that have a lot of clone traffic. Not that I'm going to do an extensive
search to poll the forums! $-\
Anyway, he PROBABLY should be using an Amiga! 😉 Right!
You can tell Larry (Doesn't he work for VRLI?) that I finally got a
copy of Distant Suns 4.2! The local Amiga dealer is giving the local
Amiga club members a 25% discount on software in stock. I also had some
store credit to use. It definitely cut the list price nicely! 😀
The local dealer is also trying to host a Toasters Users Group that may
affiliate with the North Alabama Society of Amiga Users (NASAU). (NASAU
gets confused quite often with NASA.) ACI, the local dealer is (205)
837-9324 for those in the southeast region trying to get in touch with
toaster users.
Our IEEE Computer Faire is February 18 and 19, a Friday and Saturday,
at the Von Braun Civic Center in Huntsville, AL. Vendors and user groups
really get to strut their stuff!
