The best ways to extract LHA's I've found are to firstly make sure lha
proggy is in c: and then execute command "lha x <path>/<file>"
obviously replacing path and file with the correct statements. This
will dearchive to the directory the archive is in.
The other way is DiskMaster 2 which I still find a fantastic little
WIMP style batch processing tool. As long as it's configured on the
menu, click once on the LHA archive and then choose "LHA unarchive"
from the menu. If you have it configured correctly you can just double
click the archive to do the biz. Oh and DM" on my machine copes
happily with LZX and ZOO (whatever that is) as well (keep meaning to
add zip).
I also use XArc as well, each seems about aas good as each other for
different reasons.
