MorphOS specific extensions and options

MorphOS LhA includes various improvements over the traditional LhA command.

Preserving directory attributes on extract

Non-MorphOS LhA versions don't support restoring the directory attributes (such as comments, date stamps and protection bits) on extract. MorphOS LhA does support restoring these attributes via -Qx option.

Archives larger than 2 GiB

MorphOS LhA supports both creating and extracting archives larger than 2 GiB. Naturally when creating such a large archive the file system holding the resulting archive must support large files or the operation will fail. When working with very large archives or files you likely want to set the temporary directory location to a file system with support for large files as well (use for example -wWork:temp to set the directory to Work:temp).

Files larger than 2 GiB

MorphOS LhA support compressing and extracting files larger than 2 GiB. When extracting such large files the target file system must support large files or the operation will fail. When working with very large files you likely want to set the temporary directory location to a file system with support for large files as well (use for example -wWork:temp to set the directory to Work:temp).
