Goto Aminet and do a search on LHA and LZX. You may need to look a little
but there are lha decompressors and lzx decompressors for Windoze.
I also have to go with the others on this one. I used to do this as well
before I got Internet and regretted doing it.
Unless you have CrossDOS 7 which handles long filenames, transporting the
files to Amiga will result in the names being cut to the 8.3 format.
