Short: ARexx script to convert lha arcs to lzx
Uploader: chris@chewy.demon.co.uk (Chris Hewitt)
Author: chris@chewy.demon.co.uk (Chris Hewitt)
Type: util/rexx
So you've got lzx and found that it packs better that lha. So what do you do
about all your lha archives?
Use lha2lzx that's what.
-------
Usage: [rx] lha2lzx <Archive> [Temp <Temp Dir>] [Delete] [Quiet]
Where:
rx the usual command to run an ARexx script.
If you set the script flag (protect lha2lzx +s), however, it
should run as any other script (as long as it is in the
search path).
Archive is the lha archive to convert eg. fred.lha
Temp when this flag is specified the next parameter is taken to be
the temporary directory to be used to unarchive into.
(Actually a subdirectory is created in this one to ensure it is 'clean')
T: is used by default
Delete if this flag is specified then the original lha archive is deleted
Quiet if this flag is specified then all output from the
un-archiving/re-archiving process is sent to Nil:
Requirements
============
An Amiga of some sort !
ARexx running
lha and lzx somewhere in the search path (Usually C:)
Distribution/Disclaimer
