Well, I'm not a compression expert, so don't know what you mean. -lh1- looks
like an lharc type. The compression ar uses is lzw as described in ACM and
implemented in Unix compress. It doesn't add Huffman on top or any of the
sorts of things recent lha or zoo do. Nor will it ever. There isn't enough
room on an 09. For OSK, I usually use zoo anyway. Lharc can be faster but
does not seem to be very portable or even compatible with itself.
