How to extract files out of .lzh files???

[Super Laydock]

I know this is possibly a very dumb question, but after trying myself for quite some time I can't figure out to get the files out of a .lzh file.

Winzip is chosen as the default application to open the file, but trying to extract results in some message about "to long file name" or the like.

I have quite a lot doujin demos downloaded, but most are compressed in this format.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Try WinRAR, I believe it handles lha and lzh files. If not, try lha for Windows, that should work. Of course the 'filename too long' error may be related to your localization settings -- do you have eastern languages installed?

Thank you very much for the quick reply and info!

That worked perfectly and gave no babbling about the file name length too.

Much appreciated!

7zip is also an excellent freeware archiver/unpacker.

It will unzip lzh and it seems fairly adept at handling japanese character sets.

You can unpack serval packed files and extra using 7zipguides so that each file unpacked in her own directory?
