strange because lha is kind of compact format file type ,what game or application is it from?

I am trying to install whdload but first i need to install lha.run so i can extract whdload.lha

what instructions came with lha? sometimes you just need to execute it from a shell and it'll self extract, other times is just a matter of dropping the file into your C directory and calling it from the shell. It depends which version you have.

for example if its in C the usage would be "lha -e filename.lha" which would extract the contents to your RAM: directory

You need to copy the LHA executable to a directory somewhere in your path, usually it's the "c" directory.

lha.run does not contain a file called lha. If you want to use lha as a command you need to rename one of the files to lha.

lha.run contains

lha_68k
lha_68020
lha_68040

If you want to use the 68020 version as lha you need to

rename lha_68020 lha

or

copy lha_68020 c:lha

Installer should be in Tools-drawer, just copy it to C: and be done with it
