A compression utility created in 1988 by Haruyasu Yoshizaki, a doctor. Originally named LHarc, a complete rewrite tentatively named LHx was eventually released as LH. In an LZH archive, the compression method is stored as a five-byte text string. You may receive an LZH archive from a co-worker looking to share one or more large files via email. Open and view LZH files with File Viewer Plus. The file extension LZH is used for LHA/LZH compressed archive file. Files compressed with LHA typically have the .lzh extension but variations exist. LHA uses the lz77 algorithm with a tree data structure plus block-by-block secondary status Huffman coding. The purpose is to reduce size for easily sending and keep together in compressed form. LZH files are very popular in Japan, usually used for compressing video game data. Associate the LZH extension to software in the Windows Registry. Many files contain only simple text data.
