[Coco] Extracting OS-9/6809 .lzh files today?

[Wayne Campbell]

Okay, a little bit of research reveals that the utility was never called
LZH. It has always been lha, with a few exceptions early on where the name
went through changes, but it always began with LH. It may be that you can
only use the OS-9 version of lha to dearchive .lzh files.
