Unarchiving LHA & LZX files on Windows XP

amigauser · 21 May 2005, 14:08

Can anyone recommend Windows apps which will unarchive LHA & LZX files please on Windows XP professional?

WinZIP should be able to open at least the .lha files via the external program, lha.exe. The same one might work for .lzx as well.

winrar support LHA natively
and Aminet has a PC command-line version of unlzx

Total Commander supports both formats (lzx with a plugin).

Pity I cannot get winrar to use the PC CLI version.

You can try FilZip: (edit: for lha and zip)

Don't use the lzx plugin!!! Most files won't be unpacked properly.

Thanks for that. Filzip is great. Just need to sort out the lzx files now!

Belive me. I have tried a lot of lzx files with the plugin and then, compared the files extracted with the original files using a file comparing utility and there are lots of errors. Don't use it

I second that.

unlzx..drag file over to it. Should un"zip" to your Duckuments and Settings dirctory.

WinRAR will unpack lzx and lha very nicely

WinRAR doesnt do lzx... it does LHZ and LHA (effectively the same thing) but not LZX (yet)

Methanoid · 29 May 2005, 13:01

Darn, cos O love WinRar... is it def on the horizon for WinRar to support LZX?

We do not have it in our current "to do" list, but maybe we'll
consider it in the future. I do not know yet.

Thank you for suggestion.

Maybe maybe not

Methanoid · 30 May 2005, 12:41

I also emailed... *maybe* if enough people asked nicely...

fisken uno · 30 May 2005, 14:55

I <3 WinRAR. As for LZX files: I simply unpack them in Workbench through WinUAE

Works fine.
