- 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.
- A ZIP file is an archive that contains one or more files compressed or "zipped" using Zip compression. It stores files separately from each other allowing the files to be compressed using different methods and extracted without compressing or decompressing the entire archive.
