A better question might be 'do they work in the linux affs?'
I have several versions of the amigados lha, and the answer is not to my
knowledge as links in amigados have been drain bamaged from the gitgo.
I do have a message sitting here telling me to go get package so-and-so
which fixes all that. Its on aminet, util/boot/fixlinks-0.5.lha. But
that probably won't fix our lha.

AFAIK, it doesn't. So the amiga user needs to be instructed to set that
bit, along with the exec bit, manually after the decompression. Or you
could put a series of 'protect +s filename' statements in the unpack
script to be exec'd while ados is still running. You may have to expand
on the +s to +srwx for some of it.

Which amiga lha was that?
