    I can try all that. But why the heck is the version shipped with MorphOS not able to unpack this?

    Maybe because lha on different platforms was continued by different people. The programs have the same name but not always the same features or bugfixes. Also your version on OSX is verys old (lha 1.14). But it seems there is no newer one.
    Maybe you can give your archive to the MOS team and they can have a look if our lha can be fixed or if your OSX lha needs a fix instead.

    OK, but why does m68k Lha 2.15 unpack this but not 2.7.12?
    Is 2.7.12 an older version than AmigaOS 3 m68k 2.15?



    Yes. 7 is smaller than 15, so 2.7.12 is older than 2.15.

    I don't want to use a 68k binary for unpacking an lha archive on MorphOS.
    Nor would I want to go and download something that can do such a fundamentally important task as unpacking a LHA archive.
    Even if is has been created on a different system.
    Why not package up an LHA version into MorphOS that works.

    LHA of MOS works very well with tens of thousands of archives. I wouldn't say it does not work. You just use one at least 13 year old version on a never well supported platform that can create an incompatible archive.


    The solution is simple.
    Just include a PPC build of 2.15 into MorphOS.
