LHA Extractors and DOPUS

02 April 2002, 10:53

Hey!

What LHA extractors can you reccomend and where can I get them?

I have Directory Opus but I don't have the libraries for it!! Is it possible to download the libraries or can somebody send them to me?

Just look for the lha.run file on Aminet and then run it via a shell or even doublie click on it via Dopus. Then copy the extracted files into your C: directory.

Aminet appears to be down at the moment, could be some server maintanence

Which version of DOpus are you using?

Assuming you are using 4.x (the best, IMHO) and you have already downloaded the LHA archive, copy the LHA executable to your C: directory. Then, go to the Configuration part in DOpus, select Buttons, and add a new one somewhere.

The way I have mine setup is to extract the file into my RAM: dir and I can deal with it there (that way, you don't add extra fragmentation to your drives, plus in the event of a crash, your drive won't un-validate because data was being written to it.)

My button is called LHA>RAM and I have the command selected to AmigaDOS with the string:

LHA X {f} RAM:

For flags, I have checks by Do All Files and Output window. And that's it. Has worked for me for nearly 10 years now, I think.

When I try to run Dopus I can't. It says I need dopus.library v2.1+ to run it.

Where can I get this library?

That's a different story then. Do you have the install disk for Dopus handy? If not I think v4.x is free now and can be d/l from many sites.

As a side note I got this from Aminet's main web page

"Sorry webserver down. Hopefully it will return shortly.
The ftp server is still up and running. "

Yeah, I somehow mis-read your post on the DOpus thing. To the best of my knowledge, Directory Opus installs the libraries to Libs: during installation. No idea how you could have the program installed without them unless you just copied the files to your HD setup, but didn't do a real install.

I'll see if I have a copy laying around somewhere and up it for you in a few.

Thanks!

Tell me when you have put the copy up!

OK, it's in the Zone. It's v4.12 patched to v4.22 (by Hoodlum). I didn't run it through TOSEC because I really don't care much for the Apps dat at all (all lower case if you use clrmamepro, the info is usually wrong, etc.). The version I have on my WinUAE HD is, I think 4.0 and I can't remember which 4.x I have on my A2000 (one day I'll sweep away the cobwebs and check).

Thanks!

Now I just have to somehow convert it from a disk image so I can actually use it!!
