Information AboutLha (file Format) |
LHA is a Freeware Compression utility and associated file format. It was created in 1988 by Haruyasu Yoshizaki (吉崎栄泰, ''Yoshizaki Haruyasu''), and originally named '''LHarc'''. A complete rewrite of LHarc, tentatively named ''LHx'', was eventually released as ''LH''. It was then renamed to ''LHA'' to avoid conflicting with the then-new MS-DOS 5.0 LH ("load high") command. Although no longer much used in the West, LHA remains popular in Japan . It was used by Id Software to compress installation files for their earlier games, such as Doom . LHA has been ported to many operating systems and is the main archiving format on Amiga computers. This is due to Aminet , the world's largest archive of Amiga related software and files, standardising on Stefan Boberg 's implementation of LHA on the Amiga. FILENAME EXTENSION
