- Description
- File created using Tar archive and XZ compression tools; contains a .TAR archive that has been compressed using .XZ compression, which compresses at a high ratio.
- 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.
