Convert LHZ to ZIP

Understanding LHZ and ZIP file formats

The LHZ file format is a compressed archive format, commonly used in Japan, that utilizes the Lempel-Ziv-Huffman algorithm for data compression. It is similar to other archive formats like ZIP and RAR, but it is less commonly used outside of Japan. The ZIP file format, on the other hand, is a widely-used archive format that supports lossless data compression. ZIP files can contain one or more files or directories that may have been compressed.
