- 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 TXZ file format is a combination of TAR archiving and XZ compression. It is used to pack multiple files into a single archive (TAR) and then compress it using XZ compression to reduce the file size. The TAR aspect allows for the collection of various files and directories into a single file, preserving their structure and attributes. The XZ compression, known for its high compression ratio, further compresses this archive, making the resulting TXZ file more efficient for storage or transmission.
