- .lzh files are archives similar in nature to .zip and .zoo files. Compress only
- works for individual files while zip/zoo/lzh work with multiple files. The
- creator/extractor program is out of japan and in the public domain. There are
- many versions floating around, usually called lha or lharc. Search archie, you
- may have to recompile from source for an executable that works at your site.
