Short: Repairs Netscape downloaded lzx files. Works! Author: Jean-François Fabre (jffabre@club-internet.fr) Uploader: Jean-François Fabre (jffabre club-internet fr) Type: util/arc Architecture: m68k-amigaos I downloaded LZX packed files for the first time from Netscrape on a PeeCee, and at home I could not unpack the files on my amiga because they were corrupt. Lots of people already reported me the problem, I think it depends on the site the download files are located on. Well, too bad because LZX is a great packer. - Why the files get corrupt? Because UN*X/Amiga linefeeds ($0A) are replaced by M$DOS/WinShit linefeeds ($0D $0A), which changes the size of the LZX file and corrupts it. Other characters are not affected. - How to repair? Use my lzx_netfix script on the directory where you keep corrupt lzx files. Ex: lzx_netfix ARCHIVE:Corrupt_lzxfiles My program just replaces the $OD $0A sequence by $0A. It uses the excellent program MultiFR by Lionel Vintenat (you'll find the complete archive of MultiFR on aminet). - Why it works so well? Well, you might say it's not 100% sure it works but that's not true, because the search string is longer than the replace string, and the replace string is included in the search string, so the operation completely reverses the corruption.
