Sorry, what I meant to say was that I used to extract .lha archives on the Windows side (using a tool like 7-Zip) into such a folder being used as an Amiga drive, and of course, it wouldn't work, as the filenames had changed due to differences in code pages - that's what I meant by the above statement, and as you quite correctly say above, Toni.
But ever since I've simply placed the archive files into the drive and extracted them on the Amiga side with the proper Amiga extraction tools into Amiga HDFs, everything has been just fine.
