That be the problem then. Using the pc to unpack them. I had sim issue with my stuff. something to do with the 8.3 file naming convention I think. as the miggy can use more than that or sim.

Just copy the LHA archive across then unpack on the miggy.

The lha utility works the same way in Amigam and Pc?
In pc i do something like "lha x file.lha" in Amiga doesnt work. I am using the lha that comes with WB3.1. Should i get a new lha?

I didn't think LHA was included as standard with WB3. I might be wrong. Try downloading the latest version of LHA from Aminet and see if that works on the Amiga.

99% certain LHA does not come with 3.0.
There is a self extracting version on Aminet.

Help:

1) - I donwload file "lha_68020.lha" i pass it to A1200 (thru pcmcia) and place it in "C"
2) - I donwload file "WHDLoad_dev.lha" i pass it to A1200 (thru pcmcia) and place it in "C"
3) I run lha_68020.lha in A1200 in "C", i used "lha_68020.lha x WHDload_dev.lha" it decompress a lot of files.
4) i have now an icon for install, when i click it, it says:
"i cannot find your installer"
what a &%#$ is this? I did everything right, i think.....
what am i doing wrong ?????????????? Please !!!

You need the program "installer" in C.
If memory serves, the latest version is on Aminet.

Not really related but, you probably only need to install the usr version of WHD.

why does my WB3.1 dont have a Installer ?? It should have right?


I went to aminet and download "InstallerNG"

After 5 guru erros.... i was able to install IntallerNG. Then
i install WHDLoad...more 2 guru errors and i was able to finnish the installation.

But.... i can see the WHDload file to work in CLI. What about an icon to work in graphical mode (non cli) ?? WHDload is only for CLI?
