What is a .LHA file?

The .LHA file extension refers to a "LHARC Compressed Archive." This means it is a file or a collection of files that have been compressed (made smaller) using a method called LHARC compression. This type of compression was very popular on Amiga computers, which were common in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It was also used by a company called id Software to make the installation files for some of their early video games, like Doom, smaller.

Although the .LHA format was largely replaced by the .LZH format, it is still frequently used in Japan. If you have a .LHA file and need to open it, you can use several different programs: 1. **7-Zip** - A free program that can open many types of compressed files, including .LHA. 2. **File Viewer Plus** - This is a program that can open various file types, including .LHA files.
