No LHA support in WinUAE?
How come WinUAE doesn't support LHA? Or have I overlooked something?
ZIP is an ok compression format, but it's going out of style with RAR taking over and all. And with LHA beeing the main compression format of the Amiga, it should at least be supported for reading, like with ZIP's. Yeah, TOSEC uses ZIP's, but still, I'm not a fan of TOSEC and would much rather have my ADF's packed inside LHA's. If I then want to transfer it to my Amiga I don't have to convert it into another format. Maybe I'm just beeing to lengthy here... |

Rar isn't free too, and so i would choose 7z as the format of choice for compressing stuff ( best ratio ), but unfortunatly 7z is for now a windows only format, even if it will be ported to other platforms soon. Also for amiga you can use infozip or gunzip to uncompress things. |

Have a look at Aminet for any lzh or lha archiver (include "archiver" in the search) and get whichever you fancy. Alternatively, VoodooX and UnArc (distributed with OS3.5/3.9) will use XADMaster to unarchive both types. |

Thanks for the info guys.
I guess I'll just have to compromize. Zip do seem to be the prefered format even for old Amiga sceners. Or maybe I'm wrong again, I do know most original releases were released in DMS format, no? I just want to store the games in a proper fashion, that's my main goal. |
