I'm new to the world of modems. I've been at the computer for about 4 yearsall of it on A500's. I've got the 2meg Agnus chip and scsi controlled hard drive. I can't get any files or programs I download to operate! I think it has to do with arching. archiving , please help me decompress some of this stuff… which program is best and where can I find it. As soon as I can master this I'll begin Uploading some wayout stuff I've been working on. I look forward to participating with all my fellow Amigans. Thanks!

RAL, You need to download LHA138.RUN. It is a self-extracting archiver. Download to your system hard disk's root directory, open shell window, type following lines followed by return. Shell > CD RAM: Shell >SYS:LHA138.run ; substitute full path if in a sub-directory of ; SYS: like Sys:dloads/archiver/LHA138.RUN Copy file LHA from ram: to your C: directory. Typing LHA on a command line will produce a scroll of the command template and help file. Follow the template to extract files from downloaded archives. Library 14 of Amigauser: Archivers/Crunchers Name: LHA138.RUN Size: 109140 This is Version 1.38 of LhA by Stefan Boberg. LhA is a powerful archiver for the Commodore-Amiga computer. It is fully compatible with LHA for MSDOS systems and LhArc for MSDOS, Amiga and *NIX. It is also compatible with LhArcA, LZ and decompression and has several commands and options not found in any other currently available archiver for the Amiga. Christopher
