About LHA (.LHA)
LHA is a compressed archive file format commonly used for data compression and file archiving. It originated in Japan in the late 1980s and gained popularity for its efficient compression on early personal computers. Many game and software developers used LHA files to distribute their products during the 1990s.
Technical Details
LHA files use a combination of Lempel-Ziv and Huffman coding techniques to compress data. The format includes metadata such as file names, timestamps, and directory structure within the archive. Many utilities like LHArc and 7-Zip can create and extract LHA archives, ensuring compatibility across platforms.
Additional Information & Use Cases
The LHA format supports various compression methods, allowing it to balance speed and compression ratio effectively. It was particularly favored in the Amiga and MS-DOS communities before ZIP and RAR became dominant. Today, LHA archives are less common but still supported by several file archivers.
