While I would be proud if I had, I have only worked a lot with the lha packer developed by Haruyasu Yoshizaki around 1990, especially I used it for quite a while to develop setup programs for windows applications and a phonebook database CD. The file format used by LHA is called LZH. It uses the combination of LZ and Huffmann coding. I have never cared a lot about the details. Take a look at "http://packages.debian.org/lenny/lha" for more information: -------- (May 2010): Error found by Ugo Vaccaro.
