[Coco] LHA problem

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

I suggest you use the "t" command to shellplus to see what the wildcard expansion actually is.

----------------------------

I see two folders, "CMDS" and 'SOURCE" and one file "read.me.first".


I have not used LHA for many decades but as it is a very old program it might not know that a folder is different from a file and that the entire folder needs to be processed.


":lha a -r ../oct86.lzh *"

expands to "lha a -r ../oct86.lzh read.me.first CMDS SOURCE". The "t" command shows what the "lha" command actually sees.

Yes, many zip programs will recognize a folder and add the entire contents to the zip file.

I applied both the "t" command patch and the patch that turns wildcards on. 

That the patches cannot be applied is known and can be traced back to version 2.2a.
