1.14i is a completely different branch for Unix. You'll note the upload date is years ago.

Just go to to OS4Depot.net and it's right there in recent list of files. It is 2.14 but the description is wrong and still says 2.12.

Edit: Fixed a typo. Only 7+ years late!

@MickJT

But the 2.14 archive contains the 1.14i version from 2004!

I also noticed this old Lha version. It also didn't work with my DirOpus config, like if it uses completely different command line options.

That's really odd I followed the link from the recent uploads but somehow ended up with the wrong file! (There a related link at the bottom of the page, I must have clicked that without payiong enough attention!) Thankfully I was sufficiently paranoid before installing!

Trying again now.....

Look like you did the same as me, and clicked the wrong link! Try again make sure you download lha.lha not lha.rar.gz!

There's a new bug, just as bad as the timestamp bug. Spaces are converted to underscore.

D'oh! We need another emergency fix.

Edit: Not a bug in LhA, but in xadmaster.library. Check below posts. It's to do with the header level.

Thanks! Works fine here, with spaces too what I can see, except that the description is wrong on OS4depot...

The underscores are present when it's extracted again. Issue not in 2.12.

lha a test.lha "file with spaces.txt"

It extracts the file as file_with_spaces.txt

Edit: Fault is in xadmaster.library. Read rest of thread.

@MickJT

Well, I didn't notice anything wrong (after extraction too) with this archive but then I only checked this archive...

@marko

I don't know what you mean. That archive has underscores in it and no spaces.

Edit: OK, the LhA tool itself extracts it with spaces (so does WinRAR), but it's xadmaster putting the underscores in.

@MickJT

As I said, I have extracted the archive. The "NetSurf icons.readme" is still the same... but I did this under Windows, haven't checked OS4 yet...

Read the edit. It's XAD related. Still a bug in my opinion though, but is it XAD or LhA? Hmm.. In any case, you'd want archives made with lha to work with the supplied "UnArc" tool in OS3/OS4 properly.

Edit: Seems to be just XAD. As Chris_Y says below, it's the header level.

@MickJT

Oh, using UnArc in OS4 the file becomes wrong as "NetSurf_icons.readme"!

You are right indeed, there is a bug :/

@MickJT

It's the header level. 2.14 defaults to header level 1 (older versions defaulted to header level 0).

Archive using:
lha -H0 a test.lha "my file with spaces"

and XAD works fine.

Using -H1 or -H2 you get underscores instead.

I assume if LhA and WinRAR both extract this correctly, that it is an intended feature of header level 1 & 2, and it is xadmaster.library that needs fixing.

Well, in fact it is the lha xadmaster client, which needs fixing. Did you inform Dirk Stoecker about this issue? Hes the maintainer of xadmaster and the lha client (IIRC).

And please, ppl, dont patch it. AFAIK, Dirk Stoecker is still active in Amiga development, so the client should be fixed in source code, if possible.

@all

If Lha suddenly behaves differently than it did before I'd say it's a bug, not a feature. I mean, was there ever a reason to change the default header level causing this behaviour in such a long-standing and wide-spread tool like Lha??
