Thats a compression format, stands for Lempel-Zev-Hoffman, the 3 guys 
who had a hand in the intricacies of it IIRC.  A pretty good one at 
that.  The last I knew, we did have an lzh for the coco, probably on 
rtsi.

We don't use it much on linux, either gzip or bz2 seems to be the 
favorites here, with bzip2 being the better at compression by quite a 
bit.  But we did use it on amigados, it was the std file compressor 
there.
