LZH is a file extension that stands for "Lempel-Ziv-Huffman." It was created in 1987 and was designed to be used as a compression algorithm for files. The LZH algorithm comps binary data, such as executable files, images, sound files, and text documents.

Additional information

The algorithm works by splitting the original file into smaller segments, each with its own header. These headers contain information about what kind of data is contained in each part. The algorithm also creates a checksum for each segment to know whether or not it has been corrupted during transmission or storage. If you want to open an LZH file, you need a tool that can handle compression.
