Description
The LHA (also known as LHARC) file type is a compressed archive format developed by Haruyasu Yoshizaki. It primarily uses the LZSS algorithm and Huffman coding for compression, enabling the efficient packaging of multiple files and directories into a single, smaller file. Initially designed for use in the DOS operating system, LHA became popular in Japan and was widely adopted for software distribution on platforms such as Amiga and early versions of Windows.
The SWM file format, or Split Windows Imaging Format File, is a type of disk image file used by Microsoft Windows for system deployment, backup, and recovery purposes. It is essentially a variation of the WIM (Windows Imaging Format) file, but with a key difference: it is split into multiple smaller files, rather than being a single large file. This splitting feature makes SWM files particularly useful for distributing a large system image across multiple storage media, such as DVDs or USB drives.
