lhasa (Free Software replacement for UNIX LHA tool) Lhasa is a Free Software replacement for the Unix LHA tool, for decompressing .lzh (LHA / LHarc) and .lzs (LArc) archives. The backend for the tool is a library, so that it can be reused for other purposes. Lhasa aims to be compatible with as many types of lzh/lzs archives as possible. It also aims to generate the same output as the (non-free) Unix LHA tool, so that it will act as a drop-in free replacement. Note that lhasa is only for *decompressing*, not compressing/creating archives. The binary is installed as /usr/bin/lhasa. If installing on a system that doesn't already have Slackware's lha package, symlinks will be created so lhasa can be called as /usr/bin/lha (and "man lha" will work). This allows lhasa to replace Slackware's lha package, but doesn't conflict if both are installed.
