Why is .lzh format still popular with japs?

The rest of the world uses .zip and .rar and these retards still seem to use .lzh a lot.

It's not because the format itself was constructed by a "fellow" Jap is it?

Might not be a bad idea, then.  Sorry for not reading your post.

Data files, for the most part, already do identify themselves through unique patterns or magic numbers within the file.  They SHOULD do this.  It is the only platform independent way for a file to provide positive type ID, within the file itself.  Even considering metadata or multi-stream files, you are still storing and associating specific filetypeid data with the file itself.  You aren't separating it no matter what you do, so you might as well make it simple and put it in the same file.
