About:
LHA is a command-line utility for creating, extracting, and managing LZH (LHa) compressed archives, a format historically popular in Japan and for Amiga and older Windows systems. It provides a lightweight, cross-platform tool for handling this legacy compression format, ensuring compatibility with archived software and data from those eras.

Key Features:

Creates and extracts LZH (LHa) archive files
Supports compression and decompression operations
Cross-platform compatibility (Unix-like systems, Windows)
Command-line interface for scripting and automation
Handles legacy archive formats for data preservation

Use Cases:

Extracting legacy software or game files archived in LZH format
Creating compressed backups in a compatible format for older systems
Data recovery and preservation from historical digital archives

Alternatives:

unrar – Handles RAR archives, a different and more modern proprietary format
p7zip – Supports 7z, ZIP, and many other formats, but not LZH natively
