Two problems could emerge from this scenario: a buffer-overrun may occur for naive implementations assuming a 4KB max size from the original specification antivirus software may skip over files with such large headers and fail to scan for a virus. Header size Īccording to Micco, the author of a popular LHA library UNLHA32.DLL, many LHA implementations do not check for the length of LHA file headers when reading the archive. The newer Level 2 and 3 headers use a 32-bit Unix time instead. This is caused by a bug that interprets the unsigned 7-bit year number bitfield as a 5-bit number. Y2K11 bug īecause of a bug, DOS time stamps from Level 0 and 1 headers after the year 2011 will be set to 1980, meaning that some utilities need to be patched. According to Okumura, LHICE is not written by Yoshizaki. There are copies of LHICE marked as version 1.14.

lz7 lz8 Unknown.Ĭommon implementations appear to only support lzs, lz5, plus the storage-only lz4. lz5 It supports 4 KiB sliding window, with support of maximum 17 bytes of matching length. lz4 No compression method is applied to the source data. lz2 It is similar to lzs, except dictionary size and match length can be changed. lzs It supports 2 KiB sliding window, with support of maximum 17 bytes of matching length. It uses a binary search tree in the LZ matching. The program seems to have come before LZH. LZH, but was written by Kazuhiko Miki, Haruhiko Okumura and Ken Masuyama, with extension name ".LZS". Should be skipped to reveal the real format. pms Used to indicate PMarc self-extracting archive. Seldom generated, decompressor is reverse-engineered. pm0 No compression method is applied to the source data. Pc1 PopCom compressed executable archive. These compression methods are created by PMarc, a CP/M archiver created by Miyo. UNLHA32.DLL uses its own method for testing purposes. Files using larger numbered methods may as well not exist, as Jared only considers them planned features. The fact that lh8 is the same as lh7 was an oversight. Lh8, lh9, lha, lhb, lhc, lhe Dictionary (sliding window) sizes are 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048 KiB respectively. Joe Jared extended LZSS to use larger dictionaries.

LZH archive to indicate that the compressed object is an empty directory. lhd Technically it is not a compression method, but it is used in. lh5 is first introduced in LHarc 2, followed by lh6 in LHA 2.66 (MSDOS), lh7 in LHA 2.67 beta (MSDOS). lh4, lh5, lh6, lh7 Methods 4, 5, 6, 7 support 4, 8, 32, 64 KiB sliding window respectively, with support of maximum 256 bytes of matching length. This method supports 8 KiB sliding window, with support of maximum 256 bytes of matching length. It supports 4 KiB sliding window, with support of maximum 60 bytes of matching length. lh1 This method is introduced in LHarc version 1. Lh0 No compression method is applied to the source data. LZARI uses Lempel–Ziv–Storer–Szymanski with arithmetic coding.
LHarc compresses files using an algorithm from Yoshizaki's earlier LZHUF product, which was modified from LZARI developed by Haruhiko Okumura ( 奥村晴彦, Okumura Haruhiko), but uses Huffman coding instead of arithmetic coding. These are the third through seventh bytes of the file.
In an LZH archive, the compression method is stored as a five-byte text string, e.g.

Users of non-Japanese versions of Windows 7 Enterprise and Ultimate can also install the LZH folder add-on by installing the optional Japanese language pack from Windows Update. The Japanese version of Windows 7 ships with the LZH folder add-on built-in. Microsoft released the Microsoft Compressed (LZH) Folder Add-on, which was designed for the Japanese version of Windows XP. This was due to Aminet, the world's largest archive of Amiga-related software and files, standardising on Stefan Boberg's implementation of LHA for the Amiga.

Because some versions of LHA have been distributed with source code under the permissive license, LHA has been ported to many operating systems and is still the main archiving format used on the Amiga computer, although it competed with LZX in the mid 1990s. It was used by id Software to compress installation files for their earlier games, including Doom and Quake. Īlthough no longer much used in the west, LHA remained popular in Japan until the 2000s. The original LHA and its Windows port, LHA32, are no longer in development because Yoshizaki is busy at work. It was then renamed to LHA to avoid conflicting with the then-new MS-DOS 5.0 LH ("load high") command. A complete rewrite of LHarc, tentatively named LHx, was eventually released as LH. It was created in 1988 by Haruyasu Yoshizaki ( 吉崎栄泰, Yoshizaki Haruyasu), a doctor and originally named LHarc. LHA or LZH is a freeware compression utility and associated file format.
