- Description
- An LHA compressed file format that uses the Lempel-Ziv compression algorithm. It began on the Amiga platform but has since grown to be used in other platforms. It is very similar to Gzip as the same lz77 compression codec is applied.
- This format works based on the LZMA principle compression algorithm. It was originally used in 7-Zip archives. tar.7z archives were created for storing info about file owners and for ease of use in Unix systems, based on a TAR archiving tool.
