im currently in the middle of using lha on dopus to create an archive on my pcmcia cf card

im creating an archive rather than just copying the files because lha will probably preserve amiga file permissions and any strange formatted files, whereas just copying to a fat32 cf wouldnt

first, how long is it going to take on a stock a1200 to lha 2gigs worth of data? days??

second, the memory usage seems very large. after 30minutes lha has already used up all 4mb of my fast ram

third, lha in dopus doesnt seem to produce any output onscreen as to what its currently doing. is that normal?
i know the file is being created as ive checked the cf card

fourth, how do i stop the archive process if its taking too long?
