lzh format
the lharc/lha archiver is a multi platform archiver made by haruyasu yoshizaki,
which has a relatively good compression. it uses more or less the same
technology like the zip programs by phil katz. there was a hack named "ice",
which had only the graphic characters displayed on decompression changed.
