Howdy do!

This evening I was strolling through wuarchive.wustl.edu looking for some
ModPlayer files.  What puzzled me, though, was the .lzh and .lha extensions
on the majority of the files.  I suspect that this is an Amiga abbreviation
for a LZW-type file compression or something else.  I've crossed this path
with .hqx extensions for files that have been BinHex'd in the Macintosh
world, but this one had me stumped.  Is there anything in NeXT-ish parlance
or Unix-speak that will uncompress these by chance.  Just curious.  Thanx.

Peace
