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?

You have NEVER opened any picture-file with a hex-editor, have you?

Just look at the first few bytes. This stuff is stored in EVERY file. The filename with the extension is just for stupid Windoze so it can tell what kind of file it is. All other operating systems use this header, so they don't actually need this extension, as you can see here:

Any questions?
