This does not come with 3.1.4, but the one that was included in 3.9 can be extracted and moved over. Apparently the version of deficons that ships with the newicons v4 package is not 3.1.4 compatible. This might be a bit daunting if you are a newcomer to AmigaOS.
That worked, mind you renaming within the drive didn't work by itself. However renaming using Dopus allowed me to create a MyPackage.lha.info and since I already had a tool assigned to open archives that worked as well.

So no way I can get my system to recognise all archive type files then without deficons? What is Deficons and how do I get it? Quick search in Aminet doesn't bring what the correct software, well I don't think it is.
