- 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.
- WinZip, starting with version 12.1, uses the extension .zipx for ZIP files that use compression methods newer than DEFLATE; specifically, methods BZip, LZMA, PPMd, Jpeg and Wavpack. The last 2 are applied to appropriate file types when "Best method" compression is selected.
