LZH compression and the LHA archive format itself is bog standard; e.g. Winzip supports it by having the public domain LHA utility defined in a known location and just calls that. Use of spanning is NOT LHA compatible however; it's something we added for our users. Similarly, if you encrypt the archive for any reason, LHA won't be able to decompress it. That aside, TCompLHA provides LHA-compatible archives, with the same limitations -- max 2GB (*original* filesize) per individual compressed file in the archive, but no max archive size per se other than any OS-specific limitations. http://spis.co.nz/complha.htm > > Thanks rob, > > Nahum. > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Robert martin > > Sent: Tuesday, 27 January 2004 13:14 p.m. > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; NZ Borland Developers Group - > > Delphi List > > Subject: Re: [DUG] Replacement comperession component needed urgently > > > > > > Hi Nahum > > > > We have used Lzh archiving with TCompLha from [EMAIL PROTECTED] who > > frequents these groups.
