Hello there...
well, basically, I was asking if there was an lha unarchiver on the system,
and nobody seemed to have had a response. As my disk quota is relatively low
(basic 2 megs) and as I am already on 98% of my quota, I was hoping maybe SIPB
could take the program for me.
LHA supports .lzh and .lha archives. It is relatively fast, though
definitely not as optimized as it could be (v 1.0). Many ftp sites have .lha
archives, especially when the files are not intended for UNIX machines I.E
animations, text, source code, and executables (which obviously will not run
here, but can be viewed before dowloading via dialup).
So far, I have only compiled the source for a DEC, but it should compile
on most machines, it has a manpage.... errrmm... that's about it really...
Please reply if interested.. (or not)...
thanks
yoav
