I've donwloaded AmiTCP v4.0 and v3.2b from several web sites: however, I have yet to decompress any of these archives with success. lha138, lz, and other versions will not decompress the AmiTCP-4.0.lha, AmiTCP-d.lha, or AmiTCP-b.lha files correctly. Most of the decompressors say that a CRC errior, or and incompatible archival method is being used Lx is the only program that has successfully dearced the entire archive, however, without recursive de-arching, making it one heck of a mess. Do I need to register Lzx, as all the files in the archive are 0listed as lh5 compressions, or is there some simple shareware prog that can just de-compress these files correctly? I would really like to gain web access through my Amiga 3000, and this seems to be my only hinderance.

Hi Dave, Something is screwy here! LX and LZ will *not* decompress these files correctly. Make sure you have gotten LHA138.run(self-extracting) from the libs here. What DL protocol are you using to DL the files? It sounds like you are getting errors when DL'ing? If DL'ing from CIS use B+, if from another BBS etc….try using Z modem! Hope to see you hit the surf soon! Tom tbarker@empirenet.com

Hi David: I had same problem. Closed all (except WB) windows and ran "LHA x amitcp-bin-30b" from CLI after placing amitcp… in dir I wanted and "cd"ing to that dir. Good Luck, I been trying several days to get PPP to find and execute its dialscript. My modem will go TR (terminal ready) but will never dial. After timeout TR drops and I get PPP failed…………Wes Via Amiga A2000 and Whap! navigation program
