LHA

Instructions for Installing (copy-n-pasted from the WinZip help file):

Here are step by step instructions for installing LHA, an optional external program required to work with LZH files.

• LHA is distributed as a self-extracting archive called LHA213.EXE. First download LHA213.EXE from your favorite online service. [see link above]
• Use the File Manager or Explorer to create the folder C:\LHA. You can use a different folder but then you will need to substitute that folder name in the following instructions.
• Use the File Manager or Explorer to copy LHA213.EXE from your download folder to the C:\LHA folder.
• Double click on LHA213.EXE to run it. This will cause the files in LHA213.EXE to "self-extract" into the C:\LHA folder. Then go back and delete C:\LHA\LHA213.EXE, as it is not needed for day-to-day work with LHA and WinZip.
• Start WinZip. Pull down the Options menu and select Program Locations.
• In the LHA field in the Program Locations dialog box type
            c:\lha\lha.exe
  and press the OK button.

That's all there is to installing LHA. You can now access .LZH files (created by LHA) the same way you access Zip files.
