[comp.sys.amiga] A PLEA FOR HELP WITH .LZH FILES!!

Andrew@amicc.UUCP (The Computer Club Company) (05/08/90)

Would some kind soul please tell me how (or email me the right tool)
to decypher an .LZH file.  I don't seem to recall having seen
them before, but suddenly they are all over the place... :-(

Any help would be appreciated.  If you are going to be kind
enough to email me a program to handle them, please email me a
message to that effect first (in case someone else already has)
and I will reply if I still need it (and probably even if I
don't, just to say thanks).

Thanks in advance to anyone who can be of help.

ARS.

.LZH files have been compressed with a utility known as LHARC.  You should be
able to find a copy of it on most public access bulletin boards, commercial
systems, and I believe it's come across comp.binaries.amiga.  Check with
uunet for a copy - I'm sure that they have it.

The Lharc on UUNET is for UNIX systems.  The Amiga Lharc is available via
anonymous ftp from xanth.cs.odu.edu in /amiga and in /incoming/amiga (the
one in /incoming/amiga is newer, but still untested).  There's also an
Lhunarc in /incoming/amiga, which Dave Grant says is much faster, but
sometimes doesn't work...
