LX is a fast dearchiver/decompressor for the Commodore Amiga. It is
compatible with LZ, Lhunarc, Lharc, LharcA, and LhA (all for the Amiga), and
Lharc and LHA for MS-DOS.
LX is the third generation of LZH utility released by Xenomiga Technology,
following Lhunarc and LZ.
LX is also an extremely small program (~ 16K) which makes it ideal for floppy
disk users to keep on a terminal disk.
Since LX reads and writes data asynchronously, the speed of the source and
destination devices (if they are different devices), be they floppy drives,
hard drives, or CD-ROM's, does not cripple LX as is common with the other
Amiga archivers.
This makes LX ideal for use in floppy-to-hard drive installation programs.
In fact, this is one of the purposes for which it was written.
