"Use lha" Thank-you Smart answer to a dumb question
HOW DO CREATE AN ARCHIVE? The archive is a direcory containing 800 plus text files.
Path Data:Text where the folder "Text" has 800 files


Usage: LhA [-<options>] <command> <archive[.LZH/LHA]> [[homedir]
<filespec>...] [@file] [destdir]

Where <Command> is one of:

a Add files c Concatenate/Append archives
d Delete files e Extract files
f Freshen files h Hunt for diffs arc <-> filesys
l[q] List archive (terse) m Move files to archive
p Print files to stdout r Replace files
t Test archive integrity u Update archive
v[q] List archive (verbose) vv Show archive contents (full)
x Extract files with full path y Copy archive with new options

And <Options> is one or more of:

-a Preserve file attributes (D) -A Set archive attributes (D)
-b Set I/O buffer size (KB) -B Keep backup of archive
-c Confirm files -C Clear arc-bit on extract (D)
-d Archive date = newest file -D Alternate progress display
-e Archive empty directories -E Touch extracted files
-f Ignore filenotes -F Use fast progress display
-G Only extract newer files -h Disable homedirectories
-H Write header level ( 0,1,2 ) -i Read filelist from file
-I Ignore ENV:LHAOPTS -k Keep partial files
-K Kill empty directories (move) -l Make filenames lowercase
-L Create filelist -m No messages for query

Right click the directory in Ambient, choose Create Archive..., enter a location+name, wait a bit and you should have an archive of the direcory.

Osco, sometimes I don't know how to feel with your MorphOS adventures. On one hand, I say, "what, this man actually wonders at such a simple thing?". But next, I rethink... Hey, in fact, it's great you're able to do these things, because they are important. Moreso, if people didn't tell about them here, others wouldn't be aware that they are possible.

Do you understand now Jacek's extremely laconic (six letter) response "use lha"? It's because your question is about something not precisely exciting. But it's something you really needed, and it can be done very conveniently on MorphOS. And pointing it out is good.

By the way, perhaps Jacek didn't realize you could create an LHA archive comfortably from the menu. That's how experts' minds work. And it's great too!
