Help needed to convert .lha to .adf please

[Amanda Wishart]

I have the Fellow emulator on my pc and a game in .lha format. I need to
convert it to .adf for the emulator using only the pc. Is this possible
? I have downloaded the msdos-lha.exe file but can't get it to convert
the .lha to .adf. It just creates files called mdat and smpl.
Any advice would be appreciated (in step by step instructions for a v.
confused person !)
Thank you.

In response to your last message (Amanda Wishart <awis...@cwcom.net>) about Help needed to conve, I had to say this:

ADF is a disk image, while LHA is a file archive, you can't convert one
to the other very easily. One way is to unlha the files to a disk and
then create an ADF of the disk! If you want me to do it, email me the
files and I'll email you the ADF!

There is a programme that can move files int an adf simply by draging and
dropping... by some strange twist of fate I can't seem to remember the name
of it but I will post it here when I do remember...

That would be ADFOpus, available at:

Just do a basic and dirty ADF creation, name the file, name the 'disk', and
*nothing* else, it'll be a measly 800K, but the Amiga does some pretty
stunning work with 800K... Save it on your HD, not a floppy, open using
AFDOpus, and drag your .lha files into it...

Do it in the emulator. Unarchive the file using an Amiga version of LhA and save the files to a
floppy under the emulator, i.e. a virtual (Amiga) floppy. Remember, a floppy disk in the emulator IS
and adf.

Search for "msdos-lha.exe" on the AmiNET. It is the MS-DOS version of the LHA
archiver. Then unpack the .LHA game using lha e <name of archive.LHA>. And by
magic will see your .ADF files being decrunched out of the .LHA archive.
