+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.
