Description	🔵 The LZH file format (short for Lempel-Ziv-Huffman) is a data compression format that was popular on Amiga computers and MS-DOS in the early 90s. It uses a combination of Lempel-Ziv and Huffman algorithms to compress files, resulting in a high compression ratio. It was especially popular in Japan and was often used to distribute software and games on computers of the era. Although it is not as widely used today, many modern archive utilities still support the LZH format. LZH was one of the first archive formats to provide fairly efficient file compression, making it a popular choice for compressing programs, games, and other types of data at a time when Internet connections were slow and disk space was limited.
Technical details	🔵 Files with the .LZH or .LHA extension are archives compressed using the Lempel-Ziv-Huffman algorithm. This archive format was developed in Japan by Haruyuki Okamura in the early 1980s and became popular due to its high compression ratio and speed. This format has static and dynamic Huffman encoding. LZH supports block compression, which allows you to extract part of the data without decompressing the entire archive. The format supports the ability to store file information such as name, size, date and attributes. It is also supported by many data compression and archiving utilities, including WinRAR, 7-Zip and others. Capable of working with multiple files and directories, supporting multiple compression methods in one archive. LZH was very popular during the heyday of the BBS (Bulletin Board System) and was often used to distribute software. Over time, the LZH format has become less popular, giving way to more modern archive formats such as RAR and ZIP, which offer better compression rates and additional security features.

Description	🔵 .zip (Zip Archive) The .zip format is a file archive and compression format that supports lossless data compression. A ZIP file may contain one or more files or directories that may have been compressed. The ZIP file format permits a number of compression algorithms, though DEFLATE is the most common. This format is widely used for distribution and storage of files and software because it reduces file size and bundles multiple files into a single archive, which is easier to handle and transfer.
Technical details	🔵 The `.zip` format is a widely used data compression and archival format with the following technical details: - Compression Algorithm: Primarily uses Deflate, but supports others like BZIP2, LZMA. - File/Directory Storage: Contains multiple files and directories, maintaining structure and metadata. - Lossless Compression: Allows perfect reconstruction of original data. - File Size Limits: Early ZIP limits were 4 GB in size and 65,535 files; ZIP64 extension surpasses these. - Security: Supports password protection and encryption, including ZipCrypto and AES-256. - Error Detection: Includes CRC-32 checksums for data integrity. - Compatibility: Widely supported across various software and operating systems. - Portability: Commonly used for data transfer over the internet. - Split Archives: Allows large files to be split into multi-volume archives. - Metadata Storage: Can store file permissions and timestamps. - File Extensions: Mainly `.zip`; split archives use `.z01`, `.z02`, etc. - MIME Type: Recognized as `application/zip`. - Archive Update: Enables adding, modifying, or removing files without recreating the archive. The `.zip` format is favored for its effective compression, ability to handle multiple files, and broad compatibility.
