- It's possible the files are corrupt, but because many files failed, that
- possibility is remote.

- On your DOS box, use LHARC. The latest version does a decent job on most LHA
- and LZH files, and I've successfully extracted CBM and *nix files, though you

- If you can, get a copy of Linux, a good Unix-like OS, that can be installed on
- an existing DOS partition. Then you can use a Unix LHARC app and properly
- handle the long filenames.
