- I use another solution...
-
- Use ARJ on PC with the following paramneters:
- (first copy the MUI archive on the PC HD)
-
- arj a -va -m0 a:<filename> c:<path to mui file> ( i.e c:\amiga\mui33usr.lha)
-
- then ARJ will copy the mui33usr.lha file on two disks ( 720 formatted )
- with the names <filename>.arj and <filename>.a01 without compression.
-
- Now copy the two files on the Amiga and use a program called UNARJ
- ( available on Aminet/util/pack .. I think ) to unarj the two archives.
- Warning: The two unarjed files have the same name! So rename the first
- unarjed file to avoid overwrite!
-
- Finally, with the two unarjed files ( i.e mui33usr1.lha and mui33usr2.lha )
- join the two files with the 'join' amiga command.
- ( i.e join mui33usr1.lha mui33usr2.lha to mui33usr.lha )
