Any working LZH compressor for 64 bit Windows?

Sorry if this has been asked before (I guess so but I could not find any reference):

Has anyone any working version of the LZH compressor (LHA.EXE) that works on 64 bit Windows? I have tried downloading the latest version from the official project page (gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/lha.htm) and it seems to work fine until you check the generated files and see that they are corrupt (on Windows a "Unknown level header -55" is thrown when listing the file contents, on MSX the computer simply crashes when executing PMEXT).

I have tried searching other compression programs as well, but all what I have found is applications that can decompress LZH files but can not generate them... ;(

Help please! I need it in order to publish my new MSX project (I guess you all will like it).

Yeah, ZIP is more useful nowadays, but I want the file to be easily extractable from a MSX computer.

How about using an old DOS version in DOSBox? It should work in Windows 7 64 bit.

How about 7-Zip

Edit: Ah, 7-Zip also does uncompressing only.

a win32 version of LHA works fine on 64-bit Win7

C:\Users\hapbap\Desktop\moo>lha a -r moo

Creating archive : C:/Users/hapbap/Desktop/moo/moo.LZH

Frozen ==> 40% moo.moo

@hap (and everybody): Thank you, but Nyyrikki has sent me a working version by email already. I don't understand why the version I had got from the official siste didn't work...

@Sd-Snatcher: Yes, there is something new around the corner... but it is not probably what you expect. I hope that you will like it anyway. Smile
