>is there anyway I can decompress the files that I have in Lha format on my PC.< Yes it is, but your peecee will not be able to handle amiga file names, which are not necessarily eight.three characters. For example, all .info files. You need to decompress .lha files with lha, which should be in your c directory. Rafa <Motorola Inside> from Berlin, thanks to AP1.80 >…olive oil is the way to go.<

John, Get LHA138.RUN from Library 14 of AmigaUser, unpack it on your Amiga, and put LHA in your c: directory. I think Directory Opus can find it there and make it available to you. LHA138.RUN is archived, too, but is self-dissolving. Put it in RAM:, CD to RAM: and type: LHA138.RUN After the activity stops, COPY LHA C: and LHA will be ready to use. There will be a doc file too, and you should put that on a floppy or other convenient place. You should have no problem downloading with the PC and using CrossDOS if you get LHA running. It would be possible to unpack them on the PC, using LHA for that machine. I think it is LHA238.??? and is in IBMCOM forum. But it would probably be easier to just get it for your Amiga. —Betty

John, <I have been trying to download compressed files i.e. LIB4.lha with my PC and then using the cross dos on my amiga, decompressing them with Directory Opus. Directory Opus keeps failing to decompress saying Lha not recognised.> Do you have LHA in your C: directory on your Amiga? <Without logging on to compuserve with my amiga and downloading direct to the amiga is there anyway I can decompress the files that I have in Lha format on my PC.> There is a version of LHA for PC's (though I don't know where you can find it, I suggest searching in the PC areas using LHA as a keyword). However, a lot of Amiga files have longer file names then are usable on the PC. In your case above (LIB4.LHA) it shouldn't make any difference. Hope this helps. Asha @}–,–`–
