Hi! Several days ago, I downloaded blitz2.lha from Lib 4 of the AmigaTech Forum. When I decompressed it with Lha, there were three of the files which didn't decompress properly. One of the was a library without which the demo won't run. It won't run any of the demo programs that came in the archive. Two questions: 1.) could YOU decompress this file and see if it is at fault, and let me know if you're successful? 2.) If you are unsuccessful, and the program file you have on your BB is not right, what recourse have I for the on-line time I wasted downloading it? If it DOES decompress correctly for you, do you think it would be likely something got screwed up in the downloading process? Would it be a waste of time and $$ for me to try downloading it again?? I'd like to explore this demo, but I'm uncertain what to do now. Thanks for looking into this for me. George Roland

The archive as it appears in the library is intact. A problem downloading or decompressing in on your end. Compare the file size as it exits on your end and as it appears in the library. If it is the same you likely have a good archive. Then use the correct decompression tool — LHA. -sja
