- This evening I was strolling through wuarchive.wustl.edu looking for some
- ModPlayer files. What puzzled me, though, was the .lzh and .lha extensions
- on the majority of the files. I suspect that this is an Amiga abbreviation
- for a LZW-type file compression or something else. I've crossed this path
- with .hqx extensions for files that have been BinHex'd in the Macintosh
- world, but this one had me stumped. Is there anything in NeXT-ish parlance
- or Unix-speak that will uncompress these by chance. Just curious. Thanx.
-
- Peace
